Meg and Kevin wanted to solve this problem: In 6 hours, Hank the Hiker hiked 24 miles. At that rate, how far can he hike in 9 hours? Meg claimed she could solve the problem by finding Hank’s unit rate of speed in miles per hour. She began by writing the equation: . Explain whether or not she can find the unit rate this way. Then find the unit rate and use it to solve the problem. Show all your work.

Hank hike 36 miles in 9 h.

6 hours for 24 miles

9 hours for x miles

arithmetic sequence: a sequnce in which the diffrence between any two consecutive terms is the same

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
