A) 50x + 5 = 450
B) 50(x + 5) = 450
C) 50x + 250 = 450
D) The total time for the entire trip is 6 hours.
E) The total time for the entire trip is 9 hours.
THE ANSWER IS MORE THAN 1!!!

Answer 1

E. I said either because 50×5 is 250 which means that’s how long he drove the first five hours then he stopped and once he resumed he travels the rest of the 200 miles and 50×4 is 200 so if you add up the first five hours and then the rest of the four hours it equals nine.

Answer 2

A,E maybe B
