Let r+20 = the speed of the bus on leveled road
\n" ); document.write( " r = the speed of the bus on winding road
\n" ); document.write( " 2hrs = the duration of the bus traveled on leveled road
\n" ); document.write( " 5hrs = the duration of the bus traveled on winding road\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A bus traveled on leveled road for 2 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour faster than it did on the winding road. The time sent on the winding road was 5 hours. Find the average speed of the level road if the entire trip was 320 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = (rate)(time)
\n" ); document.write( "2(r+20)+ 5r = 320
\n" ); document.write( " 2r+40+5r = 320
\n" ); document.write( " 7r = 280
\n" ); document.write( " r = 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute r with 40
\n" ); document.write( "40 + 20 = 60\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The bus's speed on the level road is 60mph.\r
