Two equations are written to express how far a car can go when driving on

different roads. On Road 1, the car can go 60 miles in 2 hours. On Road 2, the
car can go 90 miles in 4 hours. Write an equation where is the distance in
miles and is the time in hours to represent the motion of the faster car.

The equation for the faster car's motion can be written as:

distance = speed x time

Since we want to represent the motion of the faster car, we can use the information given for Road 2. The car can go 90 miles in 4 hours, so the speed of the car can be calculated as:

speed = distance / time = 90 miles / 4 hours = 22.5 miles per hour

Now we can write the equation for the faster car's motion:

distance = 22.5 miles/hour x time

Therefore, the equation is:

distance = 22.5t
