trip 1 : 15

Given Distance:

trip 1 : 150

trip 2 : 225

x :

trip 1 : t_{2}

trip 1 Speed 15 Time t_{2} Distance 150

Write an equation for trip 1Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

150 = 15 x

Resolver para

x, 150 = 15 \cdot x : x = 10

time : 10

Represent the speed in terms of

y :

trip 2 : y

trip 2 Speed y Time 10 Distance 225

Write an equation for trip 2Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

225 = y \cdot 10

Resolver para

y, 225 = y \cdot 10 : y = \frac{45}{2}

\frac{45}{2} = 22.5
