\n" ); document.write( "A car traveled 1800 mi at a certain speed. If the speed had been 12 mph faster, the trip could have been made in 5 hours less. Find the speed.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let speed be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then hypothetical speed = S + 12
\n" ); document.write( "We then get the following TIME equation: \"1800%2FS+=+1800%2F%28S+%2B+12%29+%2B+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for S to get a speed of \"highlight_green%2860%29\" mph \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
