Answer:

59.0 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have an equation with an absolute value, you must consider two options: one with a positive result and another one with a negative result.

x-55 = 4.2\\x = 4.2 + 55\\x = 59.2\\\\And\\\\x-55 = -4.2\\x=-4.2 + 55\\x = 50.8

In this case you need the maximum safe driving speed which is 59.2 miles per hour
