Question 282723: I tried to figure this one out but I am having problems with it, can you help me with this one?
I put x+1hr. =500 500 divided by x.
Problem: If a trucker drives 500 miles in x+1 hours, then what is his average speed?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In this case, speed is measured in miles per hr, which is shown as 'mph' but really is miles/hours.
.
The average speed = distance / time.
.
500%2F%28x%2B1%29 miles/hr
.
Done
