Question 1044716
.
Driving from point A to point B at 33 km/h takes 2 hours less than cycling 11 km/h. How far is it from A to B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let D be the distance under the question.

Then your equation is 

{{{D/11}}} - {{{D/33}}} = 2.   (1)

The first term in the left side is the time cycling at 11 km/h.
The second term in the left is is the time driving at 33 km/h.
The number "2" on the right is the time difference, according to the condition.

To solve (1), multiply both sides by 33. You will get

3D - D = 2*33,  or

2D = 66,  or

D = 33.

<U>Answer</U>. The distance is 33 km.
