Question 1042464: Here's my question:
It took Vikki 5 hours to drive to the training seminar. She took the same route on the way back home, but this time the trip took 6 hours. If Vikki drove 10 mph faster on her way to the training seminar, how fast did she drive on the way back home?

Let n be Vicki's driving rate on the way home. Then:
6(n)=5(n+10)
6n=5n+50
n=50 mph as her rate back home. ☺☺☺☺
