Hey!

Alright, let's solve this step-by-step:

156.46 - 14.95 = 141.51

141.51 / 0.89 = 159

We can check by multiplying: 0.89 × 159 = 141.51 --- Is Correct!

Alonzo drove the truck for 159 miles.

159 miles should be the answer.

14.95 + .89x = 156.46 is the expression you would use to solve for x.
