Let x be Libby's regular speed (in the first scenario), in miles per hour.
Then the distance to work is distance = d = time*speed = 1 hour * x miles per hour = x miles.
This distance is equal to time*speed in the second scenario:
d = 0.75*(x+10) miles. (0.75 of an hour = 3/4 of an hour.)
Distance is the same, which gives you an equation
x = 0.75*(x+10),
Simplify and solve for x:
x = 0.75x + 7.5,
x - 0.75x = 7.5
0.25x = 7.5 ====> x = = 30 miles per hour.
Answer. The distance to work is 30 miles.
The solution by @addingup is incorrect.
