This problem is a problem using
d = r * t
First part of the trip
d = 96 miles
r = ??
t = ??
Second part of the trip
d = 15 miles
r = r - 5
t = 4 - t
Solve for r first.
96/r + 15/(r - 5) = 4 hours multiply through by r and r - 5
96(r - 5) + 15r = 4*(r - 5)(r) Remove the brackets on the left
96r - 480 + 15r = 4*r*(r - 5) Collect like terms on the left.
111r - 480 = 4r(r - 5) Remove the brackets on the right.
111r - 480 = 4r^2 - 20r Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4r^2 - 20r - 111r + 480 Collect like terms.
0 = 4r^2 - 131r + 480
The only way I could do this was to use the quadratic equation.
x = (131 + 97.38)/8
x = 28.55
x = (131 - 97.37)/8
x = 4.20
4.2 isn't going to work because the slower speed has to be larger than 5, otherwise you will get a negative speed (as this solution will give), so 4.20 is an extraneous solution.
r = 28.55 for the first part of the trip and
r = 23.55 for the second part of the trip.
Check.
Let's see if the times add up to 4
d/r = t
96/28.55 = 3.36
15/22.75 = 0.64
The times do = 4, so the rates are correct.

Answer:
(0.53 > 0.51) both less than 1 while 5 is greater than both
Step-by-step explanation:
and 5
the number line has two sides, with the left side for negative numbers while the right side is for positive numbers.
<u> </u>
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -.53 -.51 0 .51 .53 1 2 3 4 5
By studying the number line above all decimal numbers greater than 0 but less than 1 are from 0, .1, .2,.........,.98, .99, 1.00 which is also the same as 1 because all numbers greater than 1 has an invisible point at its right side like 2., 3. which also means 2, 3 while negative number are all less than 0
