You can put this solution on YOUR website! Car traveled for 1/2 hour at r mph, then increased the speed by 10 mph and traveled for 1 1/2 hour more. How far did the car go?
====================
1st leg DATA:
time = 1/2 hr ; rate = r mph ; dist = t*r = (1/2)r miles
---
2nd leg DATA:
time = (3/2) hr ; rate = r+10 mph ; dist = (3/2)(r+10) miles
-----
Ans::
Total distance = (1/2)r + (3/2)r + (3/2)10 = 2r + 15 miles
