If you drove to Austin at 70 miles per hour and returned at 50 miles per hour. What is the distance driven to Austin if total driving time was 7.2 hours?

I\'ve tried;
D (distance)=R (rate/MPH)*T (time)
D=R*T
D=70+50*7.2
D=864

Solution

T = D / R

7.2 = (d / 70) + (d / 50)

7.2 (350) = 5d + 7d

2520 = 12d

210 = d
