A long distance trucker traveled 192 miles in one direction during a snowstorm. The return trip in rainy weather was accomplished at double the speed and took 4 hours less time. Find the speed going.
Let X be the speed during snow storm and then 2X be the speed in return trip in rainy whether.
Let T be the time duirnf snow storm so that T-4 is time of return trip.
X=192/T.
2X=192/(T-4).
By dividing
2 (T-4)/T.
2T-8=T.
2T-T=8.
T=8.
speed of going =192/8=24mph.
