~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


When it is written in the form   x^2+,11x+28,   as in your post,  it makes no sense.

One would assume the comma was a mistake and that "kilometers" was accidentally omitted.

A plane flies at a cruising speed of R kilometers per hour. At his rate, how long will it take to fly D kilometers?
--------------------------------------------------

If for time x, and known speed R and known distance D, then D%2FR=x.

Your example, the time in hours would be %28x%5E2%2B11x%2B28%29%2F%28x%2B40%29=highlight%28x-69%2B2788%2F%28x%2B40%29%29.
