Question 1171578
.
<pre>

Let x be the Paul' speed, in km/h.

Then the Arjun' speed is  (x+10) km/h.


Paul's traveled distance is  (2+2)x = 4x kilometers.

Arjun's traveled distance is 2*(x+10) kilometers.


The total distance equation is

    4x + 2*(x+10) = 230  kilometers.


Simplify and solve

    4x + 2x + 20 = 230

    6x           = 230 - 20 = 210 

     x                      = 210/6 = 35.


<U>ANSWER</U>.   Paul' speed is  35 km/h.

Solved.
