Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for 'x'.
To solve for 'x', isolate 'x'.
2.8a + 3.2x + 1 = 16.6
Subtract 1 from both sides. {Subtraction property of equality}
2.8a + 3.2x = 16.6 - 1
2.8a + 3.2x = 15.6
Subtract 2.8 a from both sides.
3.2x = 15.6 - 2.8a
Now, divide both sides by 3.2. {Division property of equality}

Answer:
Distance = 70 + 55 = 125 kilometers
Time = 4 + 3 = 7 hours
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 125 / 7 = 17.8571428571 kilometers per hour
