Problema Solution

May drives 32 miles to chicago during a snow storm at a certain speed. She returns after the storm 10 MPH faster. Total time for the round trip is 1 hour.what is her speed in EACH direction?

Answer provided by our tutors

in direct way speed =x

returning speed =10+x

16/x+16/(10+x)=1

160+32x=x(10+x)

x^2-22x-160=0

x=11.52 mile/hr

returning speed =22.52 mile /hr
