I have been having problems setting up the following word problem, the actual quadratics is no problem to solve but I don’t know how to define the equation from the following:
“The Hockey Team are travelling from City A to City B, a distance of 730 km, on their Charter Bus. On the return trip, their average speed was increased by 10 km/h. If the total driving time for the round trip was 17 hours, determine their average speed on the trip from City A to City B.”
I’ve tried for about an hour to set it up using a chart to list my variables and find solutions to similar problems online to no avail. For whatever reason this form of question has never clicked for me. Any advice on how to set up similar velocity, distance time quadratic problems in general would be greatly appreciated as well, of all things I find these questions in particular the most confusing things I’ve done yet in maths lol. Thanks in advance.
