A car is travelling at 60 km/h away from Vancouver travelling East. The car starts at a point 20 km from Vancouver. Give an equation for this journey. Use the equation to calculate the distance from Vancouver after 6 hrs.
---------------------------------------
Assuming it's 20 km east at the start:
d = 60t + 20 d in km, t in hours
------------------------------------
At 6 hours:
d = 60*6 + 20
d = 380 km
