Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia,  use the dirt formula   d = rt

distance = rate * time

x = rate * 4.5

x = (rate+25) *4.25

set them equal

rate)*4.5 = (rate+25) *4.25

4.5rate = 4.25 rate + 106.25

4.5rate- 4.25 rate  = 106.25

0.25rate = 106.25

rate = 425

4.5(425) = 1912.5

check it

4.25(425+25) = 1912.5  yes it checks , that's right :)
