✔ 最佳答案
Here it is:

X x X + (X-1)x(X-1)=41
X^2+X^2-2X+1=41
2X^2-2X=40
2(X^2-X)=40
X^2-X=20
X^2-X-20=0
(X+4)(X-5)=0

X=4 or X= -5

There are two values for X. If you have finding the speed, then x should be at 4 km/h.

Sorry,,,,if you ARE finding the value for the speed, should use X =4

x*x+(x-1)*(x-1)=41
x^2+(x-1)^2=41
x^2+[x^2-2x(1)+1^2]=41
x^2+(x^2-2x+1)=41
x^2+x^ -2x+1=41
2x^2-2x+1-41=0
2x^2-2x-40=0
(2x+8)(x-5)=0
x=5 or x= -4(rejected)
So x=5

P.S: hour 冇可能係負數,所以唔係 -4

x*x+(x-1)^2=41
2x^2-2x+1=41
2x^2-2x-40=0
x^2-x-20=0
(x-5)(x+4)=0
x=5 or -4
