The final position of a car can be predicted with the following equation: Position = -2.5 (time) + 25 Where is the car’s position at 3.0 seconds? When would the car reach position 0.0 meters?

The car's position at 3.0 seconds is 17.5 meters. The car will reach 0.0 meters at 10 seconds.

Explanation:

You can rewrite the equation as P= -2.5t+25. t=time and P is equal to position; so you will plug in 3.0 seconds into t. The equation will now look like: P = -2.5(3.0)+25

P = -2.5(3.0) + 25

P = -7.5 + 25

P = 17.5 meters

Now, to find when the car reaches 0.0 meters, we will plug that into P since P = position and will solve for t.

P = -2.5t + 25

0.0 = -2.5t + 25

-25                 -25

-25 = -2.5t

-25/-2.5 = -2.5t/-2.5

10 = t

So the car will reach 0.0 meters at 10 seconds.
