You didn't post the options so hopefully you can determine the answer based on the info I provided above.
If they drive an average of 60 miles per hour the last day it will take them 2.5 hours.
4 hours at 60 miles per hour = 4*60 = 240 miles
6 hours at 65 miles per hour = 6*65 = 390 miles
This is a total of 630 miles. There are 780-630=150 miles left; if they average 60 miles per hour, that would be 150/60 = 2.5 hours.
Rewrite it in the form a^2 - b^2, where a = 5x and b = 8
(5x)^2 - 8^2
Use the Difference of Squares; a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
<u>= C. (5x - 8)(5x + 8)</u>
the scale factor is 6 by 8
