Orville traveled at a speed that was twice as fast as randy, Orville traveled 240 miles in one hour less than it took randy to travel 150 miles. What were the speed and time it took for both Orville and randy? Please answer will give brainliest
Accepted Solution
A:
Let x-------> Orville speed y-------> Randy speed t--------> Randy time
we know that speed=distance /time Orville traveled at a speed that was twice as fast as randy so x=2y------> equation 1
speed Orville x=240/(t-1)------> equation 2
speed Randy y=150/t------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 2 2y=240/(t-1)------> y=120/(t-1)----------> equation 4
