It would take ___ hours to drive 240 miles from Boston to New York, if one drives at a constant speed of 40 mph.

6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many hours it would take to drive a 240 mile distance at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour, you'd divide 240 by 40 and the result of that is 6.

6 hours

Explanation:

240/40= 6

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
