Problema Solution

chuck & dana agree to meet in chicago for the weekend. Chuck travels 164 miles in the same time Dana travels 140 miles. if chuck's speed is 6MPH faster than Dana's, and they travel the same length of time, at what speed does chuck travel?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let x = speed  of dana

164/140 = 6 + x / x 

840 + 140 x = 164 x

24 x = 840

x = 35

35 + 6 = 41 mph is the speed of chuck
