A. M = 56 - 1,146h B. M = 1,146 + 56h C. M = 56 + 1,146h D. M = 1,146 - 56h

I agree with your answer, but as jhonny9 said, you should explain your reasoning instead of only giving the direct answer In this case, the total distance is 1146 at the beginning, and each hour the family travels 56 miles, so the remaining distance decreases by 56 miles. To calculate how many miles are left, we could subtract (56*h) from the total of 1146, which is what is written in equation D.
