on her way home speed x
\n" ); document.write( "onn her way there speed x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Distance = same 12 miles 1
\n" ); document.write( " original time – time with increased speed = 1 hour
\n" ); document.write( " t=d/t \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12 / x - 12 / ( x + 10 ) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "LCD= x ( x + 10 )
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by LCD
\n" ); document.write( "12 ( x + 10 ) - 12 x = 1 x ( x + 10 )
\n" ); document.write( "12 x + 120 - 12 x = 1 X^2 + 10 x
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 1 X^2 + 10 x
\n" ); document.write( "1 X^2 + 10 x - -120 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Find roots of the quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "a= 1 b= 10 c= -120
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x1= ( -10 + sqrt( 100 - 480 )) / 2
\n" ); document.write( "x1=( -10 + 24.08 )/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x1= 7.04
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x2= ( -7 - sqrt( 49 - 20 ) / 2
\n" ); document.write( "x2=( -10 - 24.08 )/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x2= -17.04
\n" ); document.write( "17.04 m/h, and 7.14 m/h
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
