Answer:
44 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Before lunch :
Time taken = 2hrs ; at speed = x mph
After lunch :
Time taken = 3hrs ; at speed = x + 10 mph
Total distance covered = 250 miles :
Distance = speed * time
(2 * x) + (3 * (x + 10)) = 250
2x + 3x + 30 = 250
5x + 30 = 250
5x = 250 - 30
5x = 220
x = 220/ 5
x = 44 mph
Rate before lunch is 44mph
the discriminant is a negative value, thus no solution for such quadratic, meaning if we use h=64.5 like we did, there's no "t" seconds at which point the ball hits the batting cage.
Answer:
B equals 60 and 36+54 = 90
