First 40 minutes: 75%2A%282%2F3%29 kilometers distance.

Next t amount of time: %2875%2B90%29t added to the previous distance.

What is t when the sum of these distances is 352.5 kilometers?
75%282%2F3%29%2B%2875%2B90%29t=352.5
Fails to render. Putting in pure text, that equation is 75(2/3)+(75+90)t=352.5.
Solve for t.
