Question 355522: Ive been having a hard time answering this question, and i cant figure it out. A pilot flew a jet from city A to city B, a distance of 2400 mi. On the return trip, the average speed was 20% faster than the outbound speed. The round-trip took 3 h 40 min. What was the speed from city A to city B?

t = d / r ___ 3h 40m = 8/3 h
(2400 / x) + [2400 / (1.2x)] = 8/3
