<span>A freight train completes its journey of 150 miles 1 hour earlier if its original speed is increased by 5 miles/hour. What is the train’s original speed?
***
let x=original speed
x+5=increased speed
travel time=distance/speed
..
lcd:x(x+5)
150(x+5)-150x=x(x+5)
150x+750-150x=x^2+5x
x^2+5x-750=0
(x-25)(x+30)=0
x=25
What is the train’s original speed? 25 mph</span>

The distance traveled is equal to the product of the speed and the time. For the first day,
                                      d = (45 mile/h)(6 h) = 270 miles
On the second day,
                                      d = (45 mile/h)(7 h) = 315 miles
The total distance traveled after 2 days is equal to 585 miles. Subtracting this value from the given distance will give us an answer of 265 miles.
