Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

I honestly don’t know. But the square in the bottom of the triangles indicate that it is a right triangle equaling 90 degrees. You can try using that along with other knowledge of right triangles you have. Could you possibly use Pythagorean theorem also?
