Algebra Applied problems
Let m be the number of miles the truck traveled at 55 miles per hour. It follows that 500 – m is the number of miles the truck traveled at 60 miles per hour. Then,
is the number of gallons the truck used while traveling at 55 miles per hour and 
is the number of gallons the truck used while traveling at 60 miles per hour, so 
= 120. Solving this equation gives m = 360.
The correct answer is E.
