How far will you HAVE LEFT to travel to reach St. Louis after you have traveled t hours? i.e. write a linear function that expresses the distance to be traveled to reach St. Louis, s, as a function of time, t.

here are more details
It is approximately 300 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri. Allowing for various traffic conditions, a driver can average approximately 60 miles per hour.

s = distance
t = time
x = speed = s/t
You must know the values of any 2 from this 3 variables (s,t,x)to know the value of the third one.

Who want to go to St. Louis anyway? The most elementary function is S= So - v t, where So is the full distance to be traveled and v is the average hourly speed.
