Answer:

615 = 68x + 238

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set the equation equal total miles and to find the time you multiply the amount of remaining hours (x) by the miles per hour and then add the miles already traveled. To find the value of x do simple algebra and isolate x on one side of the equation by subtracting 238 from both sides and then dividing both sides by 68.
