The information looks suspicious: 3 hours longer to travel 10 km farther...?

Let's see....

rate = distance/time

Let x be the number of hours driving the second day; then x+3 is the number of hours driving the first day.

The rates both days are the same:

So he drove x = 33 hours the second day and x = 36 hours the first day........

What planet is he driving on where a day has more than 36 hours?
