 Hi Abdi. Let s = the speed of the car and t = the time it takes to drive 175 miles. Then 175/s = t. If the speed was 20 mph faster (that's s + 20), then the time would be one hour less (that's t - 1) So 175 / (s + 20) = t - 1. This gives you two equations with two unknowns, so you can solve it from here. Look up simultaneous equations in our Quick Search if you need more help. Cheers,  | ||||||||||||
