Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a man travelled  by an automobile=x miels

and a man travelled distance  by an airpalne  was 9 times the distance travelled by an  automobile. Therefore, the expression is [tex]9x[/tex].

According to question , total distance travelled in trip is equal to 600 miles .

Therefore , the expression for this [tex]x+9x=600[/tex]

Hence,[tex]10x=600[/tex]

[tex]x=60[/tex]

Distance travel by an automobile is 60 miles .
