Question

The distance (in miles) traveled when driving at a certain speed s for 23 hours,
then driving miles/hour faster for another hour.
Express the distance in terms of s.
We'll do it in parts:

the distance traveled when driving at s mph for 23 hours is the expression __________ .

ADDED to that distance is driving 1 hour at 14 mph FASTER,
so the expression to be added is _______.

The final answer (expression) then is __________.

Please help me on this one!

Answer 1

d = s x t (speed x time)

the distance traveled when driving at s mph for 23 hours is the expression 23s

the expression to be added is 1(s+14)

so the final answer d = 23(s) + 1(s+14) = 23s + s + 14

so d=24s+14
