Answer: 300 mi.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the time taken to drive to the park (at 60 mph)
Let t + 1 be the time taken to drive home from the part (at 50 mph)
Distance to the park = 60t
Distance from the park = 50(t + 1)
Obviously the distances should be the same so equate them.
60t = 50(t + 1)
60t = 50t + 50
10t = 50
t = 50/10
t = 5 hours
Now figure the distance. You can use either equation for the distance to or from the park:
60t = 60(5) = 300 miles
or
50(t+1) = 50(6) = 300 miles
