Simplifying
120 + -28a = 78

Solving
120 + -28a = 78

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-120' to each side of the equation.
120 + -120 + -28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 120 + -120 = 0
0 + -28a = 78 + -120
-28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 78 + -120 = -42
-28a = -42

Divide each side by '-28'.
a = 1.5

Simplifying
a = 1.5

120 - 28a = 78
28a = 120-78
28a = 42
$a = \frac{42}{28} \\ a = \frac{3}{2}$

Using the given information and what we know about linear equations, we will find the sketch below.

<h3>How to sketch a graph?</h3>

Here we need to analyze each part separately.

In a coordinate axis where the y-axis represents distance and the x-axis represents time, we will have that:

First, we know that he rides for 30 minutes at a given speed, this will be represented with an increasing linear function.

Then he stops for 20 minutes, this is represented with a horizontal line.

Finally, he returns the motion, but slower than before, so the slope of this line will be smaller than the first one.

So for 0 to 30 we have an increasing linear equation, then for 30 to 50 we have a constant horizontal line, then for 50 to 80 we have another increasing linear equation

The sketch can be seen below.
