A man covers a distance of 200km travelling with a uniform speed of x km per hour. The distance could have been covered in 2 hours less, had the speed been(x+5)km per hour.Calculate the value of x.
\n" ); document.write( "

Actual time taken to cover distance: 
\n" );
document.write( "Time it would've taken at a speed of x + 5: 
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following TIME equation: 
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this to get a speed, or x of: 
\n" );
document.write( "You will NEVER get the correct answer if you follow the other person's setup, as is usually the case. \n" );
