Keep in mind that whenever you have a variable inside an expression, you have to think of it as a placeholder, hiding a certain value which we haven't specified yet.
Expressions with variables are a mean to express the generic idea underneath the expression, rather than its particular value.
So, an expression like x-7 represents the idea of subtracting 7 from a particular number. Once you give a specific value to x, the expression will become an actual subtraction between numbers, and you will be able to compute its value.
So, we have several values for x, which are several ways to turn our "abstract" subtraction into an actual, computable subtraction.

Answer:
32 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the patrolman's rate in miles per hour during the shift. Since we want to find miles per hour, we must divide the miles he drove by the number of hours.
rate = miles / hours
He drove 272 miles.
rate = 272 miles / hours
He drove for 8 hours and 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. One half of 60 is 30. Therefore, we can also say he drove eight and a half, or 8.5 hours.
rate= 272 miles / 8.5 hours
rate = 32 miles / hour
rate= 32 mph
His average rate during the shift was 32 miles per hour.
