Answer:

The usually speed of the bus is 50 miles/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the usual speed of the bus be x mile/hour.

We know that

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

\Rightarrow time = \frac{distance}{speed}

The bus travels 200 miles.

To reach its destination it takes time =\frac{200}{x} h

This week however the bus leaves at 5:40.

The bus late 40 minutes =\frac{40}{60} h = \frac{2}{3}h

Now the speed of the bus is = (x+10) miles/h

The new time to reach the destination is =\frac{200}{x+10} h

According to the problem,

\frac{200}{x}-\frac{200}{x+10}=\frac{2}{3}

\Rightarrow 200[\frac{x+10-x}{x(x+10)}]=\frac{2}{3}

\Rightarrow 200[\frac{10}{x^2+10x}]=\frac{2}{3}

⇒2(x²+10x)=200×10×3

⇒x²+10x = 3000

⇒x²+10x -3000=0

⇒x²+60x-50x-3000=0

⇒x(x+60)-50(x+60)=0

⇒(x+60)(x-50)=0

⇒x= -60,50

∴x=50 [since speed does not negative]

The usually speed of the bus is 50 miles/h.

Help me! Need answers to questions ii and iii please. Thanks x
Debora [2.8K]
Ii.First ,expand: 5(x-2)=32
5x-10=32
bring 10 to the other side (add it to 32)
5x=42
divide both sides by 5 to get x
x=42/5
x=8.4

iii.Expand 5+2(x+3)=21
5+2x+6=21
bring 5 and 6 to the other side
2x=21-5-6
2x=10 divide both sides by 2
x=5
