Question 1053933
A man covers a distance of 200km travelling with a uniform speed of x km per hour. The distance could have been covered in 2 hours less, had the speed been(x+5)km per hour.Calculate the value of x. 
<pre>Actual time taken to cover distance: {{{200/x}}}
Time it would've taken at a speed of x + 5: {{{200/(x + 5)}}}
We then get the following TIME equation: {{{200/x = 200/(x + 5) + 2}}}
Solve this to get a speed, or x of: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,2, 20, "km/h"))}}}
You will NEVER get the correct answer if you follow the other person's setup, as is usually the case.
