Algebra.Com's Answer #585146 by satyareddy22(84)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! speed(S)=300 k/h,Time(T)=t \n" ); document.write( "when S is increased by 5 k/h then S = 300+5=305 k/h, \n" ); document.write( "Time is decreased by 2 hours =>T =t-2 \n" ); document.write( "Distance = S * T \n" ); document.write( "Distance is same in both cases \n" ); document.write( "so, 300 t = 305(t-2) \n" ); document.write( "300t = 305t - 305 * 2 \n" ); document.write( "305t - 300t = 610 \n" ); document.write( "5t=610 \n" ); document.write( "t=610/5 =122h \n" ); document.write( " |
