Question 1056736: A storm is 132 miles away and is moving toward a city at 24 mph. How long will it take to get to the city if after 2 hours, it slows down to 15 mph? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 24(2)+15(x)=132, where x is the number of hours
48+15x=132
15x=84
x=5.6 hours after it slows down
7.6 hours total from the beginning.
