document.write( "Question 896282: A car travels 20 mph. slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather. The car travels the same distance in 2 hours in sunny weather as it does in 3 hours in rainy weather. Find the speed of the car in sunny weather. (Directions for problem: Write as an equation. Don't solve!) \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #543393 by thesvw(77)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Time = Distance/Velocity\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets take the distance as X and velocity of the car at sunny day as V.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So in sunny weather ...\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 = X/V\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In bad weather...\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 = X/(V- 20)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So 1st equation can be fixed as X = 2V\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And 2nd.. X = 3V - 60\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve it.. both are equal and find V.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I want to solve.. Sorry .. Don't read this..\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = 60mph \n" ); document.write( " |
