Algebra Linear Equations Formulas for Problem Solving 1 Answer AJ_Crunchy_Nugget · Shwetank Mauria Mar 7, 2017 #510# miles along the highway Explanation: #70# mph for #3# hours means they have traveled #210# miles, plus the added #300# miles from #60# mph for #5# hours. so #7 xx 3 = 21# add the zero. #5 xx 6= 30# add the zeros. Now add them together #210+300=510# miles. Answer link Related questions How do you know which formulas to use when solving a word problem? How do you solve word problems involving formulas?
