This problem is a problem using
d = r * t
First part of the trip
d = 96 miles
r = ??
t = ??
Second part of the trip
d = 15 miles
r = r - 5
t = 4 - t
Solve for r first.
96/r + 15/(r - 5) = 4 hours multiply through by r and r - 5
96(r - 5) + 15r = 4*(r - 5)(r) Remove the brackets on the left
96r - 480 + 15r = 4*r*(r - 5) Collect like terms on the left.
111r - 480 = 4r(r - 5) Remove the brackets on the right.
111r - 480 = 4r^2 - 20r Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4r^2 - 20r - 111r + 480 Collect like terms.
0 = 4r^2 - 131r + 480
The only way I could do this was to use the quadratic equation.
x = (131 + 97.38)/8
x = 28.55
x = (131 - 97.37)/8
x = 4.20
4.2 isn't going to work because the slower speed has to be larger than 5, otherwise you will get a negative speed (as this solution will give), so 4.20 is an extraneous solution.
r = 28.55 for the first part of the trip and
r = 23.55 for the second part of the trip.
Check.
Let's see if the times add up to 4
d/r = t
96/28.55 = 3.36
15/22.75 = 0.64
The times do = 4, so the rates are correct.
