Zahri has to pick up her mom from the airport. If she traveled 60mph she would be an hour early. If she traveled 30mph, she would be an hour late. How far was the airport?
Let distance to airport be D
Getting to airport 1 hour early results in an "on-time" time of:
Getting to airport 1 hour late results in an "on-time" time of:
We then get:
D + 60 = 2D - 60 --------- Multiplying by LCD, 60
D - 2D = - 60 - 60
- D = - 120
D, or distance to airport = , or miles
