the time it took car p to travel 300 miles was 2 hours less than the time it took car r to travel the same distance . if car p ’ s average speed was 10 miles per hour greater than that of car r , what was car r ’ s average speed , in miles per hour ?
"let speed of car r be = x then speed of car p = x + 10 a / q , ( 300 / x ) - ( 300 / ( x + 10 ) ) = 2 solving for x = 34 miles \ hr . a"
divide(add(negate(10), sqrt(subtract(power(negate(10), 2), multiply(const_4, negate(divide(multiply(300, 10), 2)))))), 2)
