Problema Solution

raul found that increasing his speed by 5 km/h, he can drive 12 km in 0.2 hours. what was rawls original speed?

Answer provided by our tutors

EQUATION:



12/x-12/x+5=0.2

12[(x-x+5)]=0.2[(x)(x+5)]



60=0.2x^2+x

X^2+5x-300=0

\Solve tha you get x=15

Hence, he drives at 15mph.
