Gabrielle went on a 72 mile trip to a soccer game. On the way back, due to road construction she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower. This made the trip take 9 hours longer. How fast did she drive to the soccer game?

Gabrielle drove to the soccer game at the speed of 18 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance covered = 72 miles

On the way back, she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower due to road construction which made the trip take 9 hours longer.

To find: speed

Solution:

Let speed be x miles/hour

Time taken = distance covered/time taken =  hours

On the way back, she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower due to road construction

So, new speed = ( x - 18 ) miles/hour

Time taken as per new speed =  hours

According to question,

Being a speed, x can not be negative. So, is rejected

So,

Gabrielle drove to the soccer game at the speed of 18 miles/hour

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
