A bicyclist rode into the country for 5h. In returning, her speed was 5 mi/h faster and the trip took 4h. What was her speed each way?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Into the country DATA;
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 5 hrs. ; speed = x mph ; distance = 5x miles
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Return trip DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 4 hrs. ; speed = x+5 mph ; distance = 4(x+5)= 4x+20 miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 4x+20
\n" ); document.write( "x=20 mph (her speed into the country)
\n" ); document.write( "x+5=25 mph (her return speed)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
