Answer:
d = 100 - 25t

Explanation:

Let's use basic logic here.
If we are 100 miles away from a place, and we've got 25 miles to go, we've already travelled 75 miles.
Since we've travelled 75 miles in 3 hours, then we travel at a rate of 75 divided by 3 = 25 miles per hour.

The distance to City A will be represented as 100 - miles already travelled. We can find how many miles have been travelled by multiplying 25 by t, the amount of hours we've spent driving.

This creates the equation d = 100 - 25t
Hope this helped!
