1. I am glad that after my notice at
https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/word/travel/Travel_Word_Problems.faq.question.1099270.html
you changed the problem formulation.
Now the problem is correctly posed and is solvable.
2. Let x be the distance from the apartment building to the parking lot, and
let y the distance from the parking lot to the office.
Then you have these two equations
x + y = 42, (1) (total distance)
+ = + (2) ("time" equation")
Multiply eq(2) by 120 (both sides). You will get
2x + 30y = 3x + 10y, or
x = 20y. (3)
Now express y = 42-x from eq(1) and substitute it into eq(3). You will get
x = 20*(42-x),
x = 20*42 - 20x ====> 21x = 20*42 ====> x = = 20*2 = 40.
Thus, the distance x is 40 kilometers. Then the distance y is 42-40 = 2 km.
And the total time of the Carl's travel is = 1 hour and 10 minutes.
So, they both arrive to the office at 7:10 am.
Solved.
