Algebra.Com's Answer #566754 by ptfile(81)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
