a car traveled 4032 mi at a certain speed. if the speed had been 16 mph faster, the trip could have been made in 6 hr less time. find the speed\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x=original speed
\n" ); document.write( "x+16=faster speed
\n" ); document.write( "travel time=distance /speed
\n" ); document.write( "4032/x-4032/(x+16)=6
\n" ); document.write( "lcd:x(x+16)
\n" ); document.write( "4032(x+16)-4032x=6x^2+96x
\n" ); document.write( "64512=6x^2+96x-64512
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+16x-10752
\n" ); document.write( "(x-96)(x+112)
\n" ); document.write( "x=96
\n" ); document.write( "x+16=112
\n" ); document.write( "original speed=96 mph
\n" ); document.write( "faster speed=112 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
