hours to complete his journey.

(a)
Write down an expression, in terms of x, to represent the distance travelled by
Alex in the first 2 hours of his journey

(b)
Write down another expression, in terms of x, to represent the distance
travelled by Alex in the last 3 hours of his journey.

(c) Given that Alex travelled at an average speed of 90 km/h over the entire 5
