Kylie was on a long 330 mile road trip. The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 25 mph. The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 56 mph. If the trip took her 7 hours, how long did she travel at each speed?

Let time taken to travel 1st leg, be T
Then time taken to travel 2nd leg = 7 - T
Distance on 1st leg, plus distance om 2nd leg, equals total distance, OR
25T + 56(7 - T) = 330
25T + 392 - 56T = 330
25T - 56T = 330 - 392
- 31T = - 62
T, or time taken to travel 1st leg = or hours
Time taken to travel 2nd leg: 7 - 2, or hours
You can do the check!!
