    Answer:

    4r + 4(r + 3) = 68

    r = 7 miles per hour

    r + 3 = 10 miles per hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    distance = rate * time

    a)

    4r + 4(r + 3) = 68

    Distribute

    4r + 4r + 12 = 68

    8r + 12 = 68

    8r = 56

    r = 7 miles per hour

    r + 3 = 10 miles per hour
