The van is traveling about 55.9 miles per hour.
Let's solve the equation:
9x+27 = 9(x+2)+9 ← Distribute 9 to the x and 2
9x+27 = 9x+18+9 ← Combine like terms
9x+27 = 9x + 27 ← Subtract 27 from both sides
9x = 9x
Infinitely many solutions would be correct because no matter what x is, it will always equal each other the both sides of the equation because it is 9 times x on both sides.
Answer: 
This is the same as
and it is also equivalent to 
=====================================================
Explanation:
n is some placeholder for a number
one fourth of that number is
which is the same as
or
since 1/4 = 0.25
From here, we subtract off 2 to get
as one possible final answer.
