Answer:

  270 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For h hours of driving the distance d is covered:

  h = 2 +d/54

Solving for d, we find the distance covered in h hours is ...

  d = 54(h -2)

In 7 hours, the distance they traveled is ...

  d = 54(7 -2) = 270 . . . miles

They traveled 270 miles on the first day.
