Answer 1

Answer:

420 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

Let's say that the distance is D and that John's speed is S.  We know that:

D = S × 6

When Elliot drives at speed S+14:

D = (S+14) × 5

Setting D = D:

S × 6 = (S+14) × 5

6S = 5S + 70

S = 70

Therefore, the distance D is:

D = 70 × 6

D = 420

The distance from John's house to Miami is 420 miles.
