In given question, Vijay's house is 544 miles from the resort.

after 3 hours of driving, they stop and spend the night at a hotel and  then complete the rest of the trip on the second day.

Let in 3 hours of driving, they completed the 'x' miles of distance from their home.

So, they complete the rest of the trip of 544 - x miles on the second day.

Let t be the time in hours they drive on the second day.

Their average speed is 64 miles per hour.

⇒ 64 = [x + (544 - x) ] / [3 + t]

⇒ 64 = 544 / 3 + t

⇒ 64(3 + t) = 544

⇒ 192 + 64t = 544

⇒ 64t = 352

⇒ t = 5.5 hours

Therefore, The next day they will drive for about 5.5 hours
