Steve drove for 2.4 hours at an average speed of 48 miles per hour, then 3.5 hours at and average speed 56 miles per hour. How far did Steve drive?

311.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

(distance) = (rate)(time)

Here we have:

(48 mph)(2.4 hr) + (56 mph)(3.5 hrs) = 311.2 miles

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
