Ryan is driving to San Francisco. Suppose that the distance to his destination (in miles) is a linear function of his total driving time (in minutes). Ryan has 47 miles to his destination after 36 minutes of driving, and he has 30.8 miles to his destination after 54 minutes of driving. How many miles will he have to his destination after 62 minutes of driving? Remaining distance (in miles) miles Driving time (in minutes)

Write an equation and solve. A car heads east from an intersection while a motorcycle travels south. After 20 minutes, the car is 2 miles farther from the intersection than the motorcycle. The distance between the two vehicles is 4 miles more than the motorcycle's distance from the intersection. What is the distance between the car and the motorcycle?
