Answer:

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be time drove by Carlos and b be the time drove by Maria.

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours.

Total time = 4.4 hours

           a + b = 4.4 ------------------eqn 1

Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 50 miles per hour.    

    Speed of Carlos =   55 miles per hour

    Speed of Maria =   50 miles per hour      

Total distance = 233 miles

That is

              55 a + 50 b = 233----------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 x 50

              50 a + 50 b = 220---------------------------eqn 3

eqn 3 - eqn 2

             55 a + 50 b -    50 a - 50 b   = 233 - 220

                  5a = 13

                   a = 2.6

Substituting in eqn 1

                2.6 + b = 4.4

                          b = 1.8

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Let x - hours Carlos drove ; Let y - hours Maria drove

Equation 1: x + y = 4.4
x = 4.4 - y

Equation 2: 55x + 50y = 233
55(4.4 - y) + 50y = 233
242 - 55y + 50y = 233
-5y = 233-242
-5y = -9
y=9/5 or 1.8 hours Maria drove

To find time Carlos drove:
x=4.4 - 1.8
x = 2.6 hours

T represents the duration in years.
