GIVING OUT BRAINLIEST IF GIVEN AN ANSWER WITH THOUROUGH EXPLANATION AND NOT JUST AN ANSWER! THANKS! During the first part of a 6-hour trip, you travel 240 miles at an average speed of r miles per hour. For the next 72 miles of the trip, you
increase your speed by 10 miles per hour. What were
your two average speeds?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to write the relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For the first part of the trip, the time is ...

  t1 = 240/r

For the second part of the trip, the time is ...

  t2 = 72/(r+10)

The total time is 6 hours, so we have ...

  t1 +t2 = 6

  240/r +72/(r+10) = 6

We can simplify this a bit by multiplying by (r)(r+10)/6 to get ...

   40(r+10) +12(r) = r(r+10)

  r² -42r -400 = 0 . . . . . . . . subtract the left side and collect terms

  (r -50)(r +8) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

  r = 50 . . . . . the positive solution of interest.

The two average speeds were 50 mph and 60 mph.

ou would have 12 of each

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)
