The drove to Daytonat 75 km/h. When the returned, they drove at 50 km/h. If it took them 1 hour longer to return , how long did it take them to drive home.

Question

What is the solution to the equation?

Answer 1

distance=rate*time

d=75t

d=50(t+1)

75t=50(t+1) because they are both equal to d

75t=50t+50

75t-50t=50

25t=50

t=2 hours driving to Daytona

t+1=3 hours driving home from Daytona
