Question 971276
t=the time it took to get to the destination traveling forty miles per hour.
x=amount of time it took to return home from the destination traveling twenty five miles per hour.
t+1+x=7.5
t+x=6.5
d=number of miles each way
40t=d
25x=d
25x=40t
t=6.5-x
25x=40(6.5-x)
25x=260-40x
65x=260
x=4
d=25*4
The trip is 100 miles to the destination. To go back to where the person started from it would take 200 miles of traveling.
