a car averages 35 miles per hour for the first 4 hours of a trip and averages 44 miles per hour for each additional hour of travel time . if the average speed for the entire trip is 38 miles per hour , how many hours long is the trip ?
"let t be the total time of the trip . 35 * 4 + 44 ( t - 4 ) = 38 t 6 t = 176 - 140 t = 6 the answer is a ."
add(divide(subtract(multiply(38, 4), multiply(35, 4)), subtract(44, 38)), 4)
