Let's represent the average rate of speed for the first route as v1 (in miles per hour) and the average rate of speed for the second route as v2 (in miles per hour).
For the first route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v1 = 420 miles / 8 hours
v1 = 52.5 miles per hour
For the second route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v2 = 420 miles / 7 hours
v2 = 60 miles per hour
These equations allow you to determine the average rate of speed you would travel on each route.
You are going to drive to another state for a vacation. One route will take 8 hours to drive 420 miles, the other route will take 7 hours to drive 420 miles. You write 2 equations to try and figure out the average rate of speed you would travel on each route

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's correct the equations.
For the first route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v1 = 420 miles / 8 hours
v1 = 52.5 miles per hour
For the second route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v2 = 420 miles / 7 hours
v2 = 60 miles per hour
These equations represent the average rate of speed for each route.
For the first route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v1 = 420 miles / 8 hours
v1 = 52.5 miles per hour
For the second route, the equation to calculate the average rate of speed is:
v2 = 420 miles / 7 hours
v2 = 60 miles per hour
These equations represent the average rate of speed for each route.
