You can put this solution on YOUR website! It takes you 5 hours drive to a city. If you had driven 10 mph slower, it would have taken 6 hours to get there. How fast did you drive? How far away is the city?
let x=speed driving to city
x-10=driving 10 mph slower
7ravel time*speed=distance
5x=6(x-10)
5x=6x-60
x=60
5x=300
speed driving to city=60 mph
How far away is the city? 300 miles
