We are given with the data that a car is already 22 miles north of a town. The average speed is 64 miler per hour. The linear function of the distance of the car in terms of time is d = 22 + 64t. When time, t is equal to 4, the distance is equal to 22 + 64 * 4. Total distance is equal to 278 miles.
