The green river freeway has a minimum and maximum speed limit tony drove for two hours at the minimum speed limit and 3.5 hours at the maximum speed limit a distance of 355 miles ray drove 2 hours at the minimum speed limit and 3 hours at the maximum speed limit a distance of 300 miles what are the two speed limits? write equations to repersent tony's distance and raes distance

In order to solve it we have to make two equations for Tony and Ray. But first we have to appeal to the formula : Distance = Speed*Time. Since we have two speeds we can match minimum speed and aximum speed with x and y respectively. So, now we can make an equation for both guys: 

2x+3.5y=355 for Tony 

2x+3y=320 For Ray
Then substracting : the Rae's equation from Tony's one in order to solve both equations.
You get 5y=35 solve for Y which is 70.
The next step is plug the value you have obtained into any equation to find a solution for x.
Let's take this one :
2x+3(70)=320
x=55

Do hope you will find it helpful!

The answer is

1. 5/82.95% is better than 7/8
