    This problem can be solved using the formula

    D = rt

    Where d is the distance

    R is the speed

    T is the time

    Then establish the two equation

    D = 50t

    D = 40 (t+3)

    Equating the two quations

    50t = 40 (t+3)

    T = 12 hrs he took to drive from alentown to baker

    D = 50x12 = 600 miles
