Barbara drives between Miami, Florida, and West Palm Beach, Florida.
She drives 50 mi in clear weather and then encounters a thunderstorm for the last 15 mi.
She drives 20 mph slower through the thunderstorm than she does in clear weather.
If the total time for the trip takes 1.5 hr. determine her average speed in nice weather
and her average speed driving in the thunderstorm.
50/x + 15/(x - 20) = 1.5
50(x - 20) + 15x = 1.5x(x - 20)
1.5x^2 - 95x + 1000 = 0
3x^2 - 190x + 2000 = 0
(3x + 40)(x - 50) = 0
Her average speed in nice weather was 50 mph and
her average speed driving in the thunderstorm was 30 mph.
