If the dimensions are "nice" factors of the quadratic, and if y > -3, we have
.. area = (y +3)(y +5)

y+5 is greater than y +3, so we take the width to be ....
.. width = y+3

In a flight of 600 km, the speed of the aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. The average speed of the trip was decreased

UkoKoshka [18]

The average speed would be 600 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original speed be 'x'

Let the decreased speed be 'x-200'

Distance = 600 km

Time increased by 30 minutes

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{600}{x-200}-\dfrac{600}{x}=\dfrac{30}{60}\\\\\dfrac{x-(x-200)}{x^2-200x}=\dfrac{1}{2\times 600}\\\\\dfrac{200}{x^2-200x}=\dfrac{1}{1200}\\\\240000=x^2-200x\\\\x^2-200x-240000=0\\\\x=600,-400$

So, The average speed would be 600 km/hr.
