Question 1164038: Danny is taking a road trip. After 36 miles, he reaches a stretch of highway with a speed limit of 60 miles/hour. Danny is trying to figure out the minimum number of hours he’ll need to drive to reach over 300 total miles for the trip, assuming he stays under or at the speed limit.
He creates the inequality 60t + 36 ≥ 300, where t is the time elapsed, in hours.

The description still seems incomplete. Unknowns are, total time, and the first 36 miles SPEED. All found for certain is this:

                   SPEED       TIME               DISTANCE

First Part                                 36

Stretch at 60mph      60                     264

TOTAL                             T                 300
