You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +t+ = time in hrs he takes
driving at +2222+ mi/hr
Let +d+ = the distance between the cities in miles
-----------------------------
(1) +d+=+2222t+
(2) +d+=+4040%2A%28+t+-+99+%29+
--------------------------
Substitute (1) into (2)
(2) +2222t+=+4040%2A%28+t+-+99+%29+
(2) +2222t+=+4040t+-+399960+
(2) +1818t+=+399960+
(2) +t+=+220+
and
(1) +d+=+2222t+
(1) +d+=+2222%2A220+
(1) +d+=+488840+
The driving distance is 488, 840 mi
-----------------
check:
(2) +d+=+4040%2A%28+t+-+99+%29+
(2) +488840+=+4040%2A%28+220+-+99+%29+
(2) +488840+=+4040%2A121+
(2) +488840+=+488840+
OK

From what I know, it's IMPOSSIBLE to drive at 2,222 mph. Why don't you check your work before posting, so that senseless data will not be given?

I guess you do not care if you get an incorrect answer, especially those that are UNIMAGINABLE.
