Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Mr.X arrived at his home at 12:00. If he had traveled 15 km/h faster, he would arrive 1 hour earlier. If he had traveled 10 km/h slower, he would arrive 1 hour later. What is his rate, when did he departed and how long (in km) did he traveled?

I had misread the problem at another source, it seemed hard to me, as it had endless answers. The true problem was that: Erase "faster" and "slower" words. Add "at 15 km/h" and "at 10 km/s". It became an easy one now, anyway. Excuse me for annoyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total distance = 60 Km If he traveled at 15 Km/h it would have taken 4 hours If he traveled at 10 Km/h it would have taken him 6 hours It took him five hours because he traveled at 12 Km/h He left at 7:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
