Question 68690
Arianna took 2hours longer to drive 360 miles on the first day of a trip than she took to drive 270 miles on the second day. If her spped was the same both days what was the driving time each day? 
-----------------
First Day DATA:
Distance= 360 miles ; Time= x+2 hrs ; Rate =d/t = 360/(x+2) mph
--------------
Second Day DATA:
Distance= 270 miles ; Time = x hrs ; Rate = d/t = 270/x mph
----------------
EQUATIOn:
rate day one = rate day two
360/(x+2) = 270/x
36/(x+2)=27/x
36x = 27x+54
9x=54
x=6 hrs (driving time on day two)
x+2= 8 hrs (driving time on day one)
----------------
