You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance (in miles) traveled when driving at a certain speed (s) for "x" hours, then driving "y" miles/hour faster for another hour.
Express the distance in terms of s.
the distance traveled when driving "a" mph for "x" hours is the expression __ax_____.
ADDED to that distance is driving 1 hour at "y" mph FASTER,
so the expression to be added is____1y_______ .
The final answer (expression) then is ax+y___________.
--------------------
Your posting was very confusing because you left out some
of the required data. Please review your entry carefully.
I inserted the "x" and the "y". Hope that helps you with
the problem.
