The answer to the question
The answer is standard form. When the equation is set up as Ax + By = C where A and B are coefficients.
To find the answer,we can set an equation:
Let the time he used to drive in the afternoon be y miles.
Time used in the afternoon = y
Time used in morning = y - 70
Total time used = 248
The value of y:
y + (y - 70) = 248
2y-70 = 248
2y = 248+70
2y = 318
y = 318/2
y = 159
Therefore, he droved 159 miles in the afternoon.
Hope it helps!
A fraction is in it's simplest form if both of the numerator and denominator are not divisible by a number.
