Question 87658: Help a mother teaching her son Algebra
The story problem is Jose was taking a trip from point a to point b, on the way there, he drove 45mph. On the way back, he drove the same distance at 50mph and got back 20 minutes faster. What was the distance for point a to point b. (The equations that I came up with was 45x=50x-20 to get the time but I know that it is not totally correct. I came up with 180 miles but the answer in the teachers guide is 150. Don't know how they got it.) Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
