Question 897320
Two drivers shared the driving dying a trip. One drove at 70mph and the other at 75mph. How far did each drive if the total distance was 650 miles, and the total time was 9 hours?
***
let x=distance traveled by 70 mph driver
let (650-x)=distance traveled by 75 mph driver
travel time=distance/speed
{{{x/70+(650-x)/75=9}}}
lcd:(70*75) 
75x+70(650-x)=9*70*75
75x+45500-70x=47250
5x=1750
x=350
650-x=300
distance traveled by 70 mph driver=350 mi
distance traveled by 75 mph driver=300 mi
