Steve traveled 150 miles at a certain speed.
\n" ); document.write( " Had he gone 20 mph faster, the trip would have taken 2 hours less.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the speed of his vehicle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = the speed of the car
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+20) = the faster speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: Time \"dist%2Fspeed\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2Fs\" = \"150%2F%28%28s%2B20%29%29\" + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply this equation by s(s+20) and solve for s, and you have it
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
