SPEED             TIME          DISTANCE
GOING             r                 10             d
BACK             r+15                7             d

Let return speed be S

Then outbound speed = S - 15

We then get the following DISTANCE equation: 10(S - 15) = 7S

Solve for S to find return speed

That's all....Very, very simple...nothing COMPLEX!
