.
You did not ask any specific question, so which equation do you want to set up?
.
For total time:
210 mi/65 mph + 75 mi/x mph=3.23 hr+75/x hr=total time
.
Minimum speed X to complete the whole trip in under Y hours:
75 mi/(Y-3.23hr)=X
.
Many other equations can also be derived from the given information.
