Solve the problem.In order to make a three-day drive to your hometown for a reunion and short vacation, you estimate that you should drive x hours each day.

On the second day, your stop for lunch is longer than you had anticipated, because in addition to eating, you visit an attraction that catches your interest. As a result, you lose 5 hours of driving time. On day three, you start early and double your planned driving time to arrive at your destination by late evening. If your total driving time for the trip was what you expected, what is the value of x?
