You can put this solution on YOUR website! first part 40 mph
second part 35 mph
total distance = 265 miles
let first part distance be x
second part distance = 265-x
first part time + second part time = 7 hours
t=d/r
x/40 + (265-x)/35 =7
Multiply equation by 35*40=1400
35 x + 40 (265-x) = 7*1400
35x+10600-40x=9800
-5x=-800
/-5
x=160 miles First part
balance 265-160= 105 miles second part

Let time he drove at 40 mph be T
Then time he drove at 35 mph = 7 – T
Distance at 40 mph + distance at 35 mph = total distance
