3. James drives for 5 hours at a certain speed and then for 4 hours at a speed 6 km/h greater than his original speed. If he dri
ves 294 km altogether, what was his first speed?
1 answer:
Answer:30km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Total distance=294km
Speed=s
Distance=d
Time=t
First drive:
t=5
d=s x t
d=s x 5
d=5s
Second drive:
t=4
Speed is 6km/h greater than the first speed
The new speed= s+6
d=4(s+6)
Total distance=294
5s + 4(s + 6)=294
5s + 4s + 24=294
Collect like terms
5s + 4s=294 - 24
9s=270
Divide both sides by 9
9s/9=270/9
s=30
First speed=30km/hr
