The distance between joe's house nd the supermarket is X km .
\n" ); document.write( "He drive from his house to the supermarket at an average speed of Y km/h .
\n" ); document.write( "from the supermarket Joe return to his house, along the same route, at an average speed that is one and a half times faster than the original average speed of Y km/h.
\n" ); document.write( " Calculate the overall average speed at which Joe drove from his house to the supermarket nd back.leave ur answer in terms of Y.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a = average speed for the round trip
\n" ); document.write( "write a time equation; time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Fy\" + \"x%2F%281.5y%29\" = \"%282x%29%2Fa\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 3ay, clear the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "3ax + 2ax = 3y(2x)
\n" ); document.write( "5ax = 6xy
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by x
\n" ); document.write( "5a = 6y
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"6%2F5\"y is the average speed for the round trip
\n" ); document.write( "
