Kyle is traveling to Destin over spring break. The total drive is 601 miles. If he travels at a speed of 50 miles per hour, which of the following functions represents the number of remaining miles, M(x), he has to travel to reach his destination after x hours?
M(x) = 551x

M(x) = 50x

M(x) = 601 - 50x

M(x) = 50 - 601x

Yep. Because the total distance is 601 miles, and if Kyle is driving at 50 mile/ hour then the hours (x) determine how for the traveled. 

so M(x) = 601 -50x

If you plug in the number of hours (x) he drive you will find how far he is from his friend.
