Alfred is taking a trip. He drove 150 mi and then stopped to refuel. He will drive 60 mph to finish his trip. Let x represent the hours it takes for Alfred to complete the rest of his trip, and let y represent the total distance traveled.

Complete the function equation that relates Alfred’s total distance traveled to his time.

Initial distance was 150miles, final distance was 60mph * x(hours it takes for Alfred to complete the rest of his trip)
Therefore y=150 + 60 x
