If their afternoon drive took half the time of the morning drive, how far and long did they travel on each part of the trip? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #737531 by greenestamps(13219) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "They traveled for x hours at 35mph and 2x hours at 52mph. Since distance is rate times time, the total distance they traveled was \n" ); document.write( "35(x)+52(2x) \n" ); document.write( "Write and solve the equation that says that total distance was 104.25 miles. \n" ); document.write( "That will give you x, the amount of time they traveled at 35mph after lunch. From that you can get the answers to all the questions. \n" ); document.write( " |
