The table below represents Bree’s trip from her home to the library and back. On her way to the library, she travels at 6 miles per hour. On her way home, she travels at 12 miles per hour. The total travel time is 2 hours. Which equation can be used to find the distance in miles from Bree’s house to the library?
Distance (mi)
Rate (mph)

6 mph
StartFraction x Over 6 EndFraction
Trip to Home
x
12 mph
StartFraction x Over 12 EndFraction
StartFraction x Over 6 EndFraction + StartFraction x Over 12 EndFraction = 2
StartFraction x Over 6 EndFraction times StartFraction x Over 12 EndFraction = 2
6 + 12 = x
6 times 12 = x
