He already drove 150 miles
He'll drive another additional 60x miles. The 60 is from the 60 mph and the x is the number of hours. So (speed)*(time) = 60*x = 60x is the distance he drives after stopping for gas.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so you just add the two to get the total distance
y =150 + 60x
y = 60x + 150
