Question

During the first part of a trip,a canoeist travels 71 miles at a certain speed. The conoeist travels 10 miles on the second part of the trip at a speed of 5mph slower. The total time for the trip is 5 hours. What was the speed of each part of the trip.

Answer 1

give me a sec

Answer 2

ok!

Answer 3

ok so
distance1=71 speed1=x
distance2=10 speed2=x-5
since speed=distance/time
we can write it like this
time=distance/speed
following me?

Answer 4

since total time is 50
we can write equation as
50=(71/x)+(10/x-5)

Answer 5
