    d = 1.2 + 2.3t

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A backpacker parked his car and hiked a distance of 1.2 km on the first day. On the second day, he continued hiking away from his car with an average speed of 2.3 km/hr.

    Now, on the second day he started from distance 1.2 km from his car and continues to hike with an average speed of 2.3 km/hr.

    Therefore, the distance of the backpacker from his car on the second day is given by

    d = 1.2 + 2.3t

    where d is the distance in km and t is the time in hours he hiked. (Answer)
