The required system of equations are

y = 30x

13x + y = 258

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours

that the driver worked.

Let y represent the number of miles that the truck drove.

For every truck that goes out, Mason must pay the driver $13 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. If on a particular day, his total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $258, it means that

13x + y = 258

On that particular day, the driver drove an average of 30 miles per hour.

Speed = distance/time

It means that

y/x = 30

y = 30x
