At what speed did Jim travel

Question

Jim and Sara agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Jim travels 138 miles in the same time that Sara travels 123 miles. If Jim speed is 5 miles per hour more than Sara's speed at what speed did Jim travel

Answer 1

s represents Sara's speed

Jim:

138 = (s + 5)(t)

138 / (x + 5) = t

Sara

123 = (s)(t)

123 / s= t

 

138 / (s + 5) = 123 / s

 

Can you solve for s and answer?
