Question 796876
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Distance equals rate times time.  So if it took *[tex \Large t] hours to drive *[tex \Large d] miles at 60 mph, and it took *[tex \Large t\ -\ 1] hours to drive the same distance at 75 mph] then:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  75(t\ -\ 1)\ =\ 60t]


Solve for *[tex \Large t] to get the young man's (don't know if he is Geffory or Geffery) driving time.  His parent's driving time is zero -- the boy went to visit them while they were presumably home the entire time.  Then calculate *[tex \Large 60t] or *[tex \Large 75(t\ -\ 1)] to find the distance.
