Answer 1

Hello there i hope you are having a good day :) your question: You are driving to visit a friend in another state who lives 440 miles away. You are driving 55 miles per hour and have already driven 275 miles. Write and solve an equation to find how much longer in hours you must drive to reach your destination.

Answer: firstly you would do the 55 so you would added this too the already driven which is 275 so 55 + 275 then you would need to times this by 3 so it would equal 165 then you got the driven miles again so you would do 165 + 275 that would equal 440 then the rest of the time you would need to work out how many hours altogether it would be 3 hours.

Hopefully this help you ❤

Answer 2

3 hours

Explanation:

275+55 t=440

55 t=440-275

or 55 t=165

t=165/55=3
