Answer: 1= 41
2= 3 hours biking at the other speed.
3= We began to drive at 75 mph at 1:00 p.m
Step-by-step explanation:
3= x/55 + (630 - x)/75 = 10
75x + 55 * (630 - x) = 41,250 (4,125 as Lowest common multiple)
75x + 34,650 - 55x = 41,250
20x = 41,250 - 34,650 (Subtracting 34,650 at both sides)
20x = 6,600
x = 6,600/20
x = 330 ⇒ 630 - x = 300
Time we drove at 55 mph = 330/55 = 6 hours
Time we drove at 75 mph = 300/75 = 4 hours
We began to drive at 75 mph at 1:00 p.m. (7 am + 6 hours)
hope this helps :)
