Word Problem!! 
Josh rode his bike 17 miles from his home to Columbus, Ohio, and then completed a 53 mile car trip from Columbus to Mansfield, Ohio. Assume the average rate of the car was 43 mph faster than the average rate of the bike.
Find an algebraic representation for the total time T required to complete the 70 mile trip as a function of the average rate x of the bike.
Find a complete graph, including any zeros and asymptotes.
What values of x make sense for this problem situation?
If the total trip was one hour and forty minutes, what was the bike’s rate?
