3=600x
3 equals 600 x

600=3x
600 equals 3 x

y=600×3
y equals 600 times 3

y=6003

To write a direct variation equation for the distance traveled by a jet flying at a rate of 600 mph for 3 hours, you can use the formula:

\[ y = kx \]

where \( k \) is the rate (600 mph) and \( x \) is the time in hours. In this case, if \( x = 3 \), the equation would look like:

\[ y = 600 \times 3 \]

So the correct response is:

**y = 600 × 3** (y equals 600 times 3).
