Answer:

x = 65\,mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that both trip occured at constant speed. Then, the definition of speed as the ratio of travelled distance to time is used in terms of the statement:

First trip:

\frac{x + 15\,mi}{t+0.5\,h} = 40\,\frac{mi}{h}

Second trip:

\frac{x}{t} = 50\,\frac{mi}{h}

After some algebraic handling, the following linear system is created:

x - 40\cdot t =  5\\x - 50\cdot t = 0

The solution of the linear system is:

t = 0.5\,h, x = 25\,mi

The distance travelled in both trips is:

x = 65\,mi

Answer:

65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two simultaneous equations . Remeber that v=d/t, 1hour = 60 minutes.

1. 40 = (d+15)/(t+0.5)

2. 50 = d/t

solving: d= 25 miles and t=0.5 hours.

The distance traveled is:

D=d+d+15

D=65 miles
