Answer: d = 84 + 62h

Explanation:

84 represents the initial distance from home

62 represents the additional distance covered per hour

By multiplying the number of hours (h) by 62 and adding it to the initial distance of 84 miles, we can calculate the total distance driven (d) at any given hour.
