To answer this item, we let x be Jeff's speed when going back home. With this representation, the speed from home to his parents is x + 9. The total time it took him for the trip is 8 hours. The time of each trip can be calculated by dividing the distance by time. Such concept is presented below.
 
                             8 hours = 160/x + 160/(x + 9)

The value of x from the equation is 36. Thus, his speeds were 36 miles/h and 45 miles/h.

Answer and Explanation:

Two goods are said to be complementary goods if an increase in the price of a particular one leads to a commensurate decrease in the demand that buyers placed for the other one.

A good is said to be a normal good if the reason for an increase in demand is due to an increase in the income of the buyers.

A good is said to be an inferior good if there is a decrease in demand even though the buyers have experienced increase in their income.
