A, B, and D are the correct statements for this situation.
Statement A is correct because the equation 50x + 5 = 450 represents the total distance traveled (50x) plus the initial 5 hours of driving (5) equaling the total distance of 450 miles.
Statement B is correct because the equation 50(x + 5) = 450 represents the average speed (50 mph) multiplied by the total time spent driving (x+5) equaling the total distance of 450 miles.
Statement D is correct because the total time for the entire trip includes the 5 hours spent driving initially and the additional time spent driving to the interview. The lunch break is not included in the total time.
