Given Equation: We are given the equation $x = 78(7.7 - t)$ which represents Priya's distance from her destination after $t$ hours. To find out how long it will take for Priya to reach her destination, we need to find the value of $t$ when $x$ equals $0$ , because reaching the destination means no distance left to travel.
Set Equal to Zero: Set the equation equal to zero to find when Priya reaches her destination: $0 = 78(7.7 - t)$ .
Divide by $78$ : Divide both sides of the equation by $78$ to isolate the term in parentheses: $\frac{0}{78} = (7.7 - t)$ .
Simplify Equation: Simplify the left side of the equation, knowing that $0$ divided by any number is $0$ : $0 = 7.7 - t$ .
Subtract $7$ . $7$ : To solve for $t$ , we need to get $t$ on one side of the equation by itself. We can do this by subtracting $7.7$ from both sides of the equation: $-7.7 = -t$ .
Multiply by $-1$ : Now, we multiply both sides of the equation by $-1$ to solve for $t$ : $t = 7.7$ .
