    D (t) = Do - 35*t

    (Where Do is the distance from Lauren's house to City A)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To write a equation for D (t), we can use the following variables and constants:

    Do = inicial distance from Lauren's houre to City A

    V = speed that Lauren is driving (V = 35)

    t = amount of hours travelled.

    So, we can write this equation:

    D (t) = Do - V*t

    We use a negative sign for the speed because the distance from Lauren to the City A is decreasing with time (Lauren is approaching the City).

    So, we have that our equation is:

    D (t) = Do - 35*t
