let's check out the results with our DIRT equation

Looks like Mark has the faster rocket,but let's check out the results with our DIRT equation.Begin by setting up a chart.Make four columns and three rows.Use DIRT to remember what to fill in.Each rocket will have information for distance, rate, and time.Mark's rocket went 150 miles,we don't know the rate,and he got there in 2 hours.Bleebop's rocket went 240 miles,we don't know the rate,and the time is 1 hour after Mark,or 3 hours.Because we don't know Mark or Bleebop's rate,that number is going to be a variable in each equation,which we'll represent with x.We'll solve the equation for the variable to find its value.
