\n" ); document.write( "Aaron is driving to his friend’s place \"180km\" away. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "->\"d=180km\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If he can average a speed that is \"5%28km%2Fh+%29\"more than his current speed and then \"triple+\"that, he will arrive in \"two\"\"+hours\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let his current speed be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " average a speed that is \"5%28km%2Fh%29\" more than his current speed will be \"x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( " then \"triple+\"that, and we have \"3%28x%2B5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " he will arrive in two hours, \"t=2h\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) Using s for his current speed,what equation models this situation?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180=3%28x%2B5%29%2A2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180=%283x%2B15%29%2A2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(b) Determine Aaron's speed\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180=%283x%2B15%29%2A2\"......solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"90=3x%2B15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=90-15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=75\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=75%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Aaron's speed is \"25%28km%2Fh%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
