Question

A car is traveling at a constant velocity. After two hours the car has traveled 110 miles. After four hours the car has traveled 220 miles. Assuming a linear equation fits this situation, find the distance that the car will travel after five hours.

Answer 1

Answer: 110+220= 330

Step-by-step explanation: Just add 110+220 and it gives you 330

Answer 2

Derive the system of linear equations from the given above,
y = mx + b
From the given,
110 = m(2) + b
220 = m(4) + b
From the system, the value of m is equal to 55 and b is equal to 0. Therefore, after 5 hours, the car travels (55 m/s) x 5 s = 275 meters.
