It would have taken further 45 minutes lesser if the speed was further increased by 10 km/h. the distance between the two cities is\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #558580 by multiplier(8)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let v- constant speed of car in km/hr \n" ); document.write( " s- distance between the two cities(P to Q) in kilometers \n" ); document.write( " t- time to travel from P to Q in hours \n" ); document.write( " working formula: s=vt \n" ); document.write( " cond. 1: s=vt >(Eq 1) \n" ); document.write( " cond. 2: v is increase by 10 km/hr, the value of (v) in (Eq 1) becomes \n" ); document.write( " (v+10), and (t) in will be (t-1) \n" ); document.write( " s=(v+10)(t-1) > (Eq 2) \n" ); document.write( " cond. 3:v is increased further by 10km/hr, time is cut by 45 minutes \n" ); document.write( " s=(v+20)(t-7/4) >(Eq 3)... (7/4= 1 hr and 45 minutes) \n" ); document.write( " since distance from P & Q is constant, s will be same in all conditions \n" ); document.write( " equate (Eq 1), (Eq 2) and (Eq 3) \n" ); document.write( " v=60km/hr; t=7 hours \n" ); document.write( " s=420 km-the distance you are looking for... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
