Question 26926: ariana took 2 h longer to drive 360 mi on the first day of a trip than she took to drive 270 mi on the second day. if her speed was the same on both days, what was the driving time each day?

270(x+2)=360x
270x+540=360x
90x=540
x=6

6+2=8

Hence, her driving time for 360mi was 8hours and for 270 mi was 6 hours.
