Wonder as why it should be a problem. Speed = Distance / Time; so distance = speed into time.
thus for (a) distance = 3 *65 miles; (b) distance = 49t miles etc.

I just realized my foolishness after two days of racking my mind. Over complicating something so simple and not realizing I'm only trying to solve line a. Note to self DUH!! distance =195!!!!!!! Thanks anyhow!!!!

well actually I need to solve all 3 lines separately. Got all three of them, woo hoo. Thanks
