Question

kyle and his dad are leaving early in the morning for his soccer tournament. their house is 195 miles from the tournament. they plan to stop and eat after 1.5 hours of driving, then complete the rest of the trip. kyles dad plans to drive at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. which equation can kyle use to find about how long, x, the second part of the trip will take? $65x + 1.5 = 195$ $1.5(x + 65) = 195$ $65(x + 1.5) = 195$ $1.5x + 65 = 195$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate distance of first leg

Distance = speed × time, so first leg distance: $65 \times 1.5$

Step2: Calculate distance of second leg

Second leg distance: $65 \times x$

Step3: Set total distance equation

Sum of legs equals total miles: $65(x + 1.5) = 195$

Answer:

$65(x + 1.5) = 195$
