Algebra ->  Polynomials-and-rational-expressions -> SOLUTION: Leroy drove 448 miles in the same amount of time as Juanita drove 511 miles. If Juanita was driving 9 miles per hour faster than Leroy, how fast were they driving      Log On

Let x be the Leroy' speed, in miles per hour.


Then the Juanita' speed is (x+9) mph.


Leroy spent  hours;  Juanita spent  hours.


The condition says


 = .


Cross multiply and solve for x.
