TLDR: 5 = 175, 6 = 210, 7 = 245

In this problem, it states that Kylie drove 175 miles in 5 hours. To start, our first step should be to find the rate of travel, in miles/hour. You can find this by dividing 175 (distance) by 5 (time) to get your average velocity, which is 35 MPH.
Since we know that she can drive 175 miles in 5 hours, we can make a sequence either decreasing or increasing from 5 hours. For this example, let’s increase.
As previously mentioned, she drives 35 miles every hour, so for every hour after 5, we add 35 to the total mileage. 6 hours would be 210 miles, 7 would be 245, and so on.
