a)

\n

Because the car is travelling at a constant speed, the distance travelled after $t$ hours is equal to the car's velocity, $v$, multiplied by the time elapsed, $t$.

\n

We have been told that $v = 7$ mph.

\n

\\[ d(t) = v \\times t = 7 t \\]

\n

b)

\n

We have been given a time in minutes but our formula uses hours, so we first have to convert to hours.

\n

10 minutes is $\\frac{1}{6}$ of an hour. 

\n

Now, use $t = \\frac{1}{6}$ in the formula from part a:

\n

\\begin{align}
d(t) &= 7t \\\\
\\simplify[]{d(1/6)} &= 7 \\times \\frac{1}{6} \\\\
&= \\frac{7}{6}
\\end{align}

\n

The car has travelled $\\frac{7}{6}$ of a mile in 10 minutes.

\n

c)

\n

We want to find the value of $t$ when the distance travelled is $14$ miles.

\n

Rearrange the formula from part a:

\n

\\begin{align}
d(t) &= 7t \\\\
14 &= 7t \\\\
t &= 14 \\div 7 \\\\
&= 2
\\end{align}

\n

The driver takes 2 hours to reach point $B$.
