Answer: y = 73x

Step-by-step explanation:

if you add the hours, they add up to 5 total hours. the distance from home in 5 hours after getting gas is 365 miles. divide 365 by 5 do figure out home many miles he drives in an hour. it's 73. so y (total distance) = 73 (distance per hour) • x (number of hours)
