Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance already traveled by Ed $=211$ miles

Also, Ed is driving at a rate of 63 miles per hour.

Distance $=$ Speed × Time

Distance traveled by Ed in $x$ hours $=63x$

Total distance traveled by Ed $=211+63x$

Also, total distance traveled by Ed is $638$ miles.

Therefore,

$638=211+63x$

Option C is correct.
