begin mathsize 16px style let space the space time space be space straight t space hours space for space return space journey
for space main space journey space time space taken space is space straight t plus 2.5 space hours
speed equals fraction numerator 150 over denominator straight t plus 2.5 end fraction
return space journey
speed equals 150 over straight t space which space is space 10 km divided by hr space more space than space fraction numerator 150 over denominator straight t plus 2.5 end fraction
so
150 over straight t minus fraction numerator 150 over denominator straight t plus 2.5 end fraction equals 10
150 straight t plus 375 minus 150 straight t equals 10 straight t squared plus 25 straight t
10 straight t squared plus 25 straight t minus 375 equals 0
straight t equals 5 space or space straight t equals negative 7.5
so space straight t space equals 5....
speed space equals 20 km divided by hr..... journey
return equals 30 km divided by hr
end style
