PROBLEM: An employee drove to work on Monday at the rate of 45 mph and arrived one minute early. On Tuesday, he left home at the same time and drove at 40mph. He arrived at work one minute late.
a.) How far is it to work?
b.) At what speed would he have to travel to arrive 5 minutes early?
I assume I'd have to solve this problem by finding an equation where the time is y value and the x is the rate or speed (because time depends on speed). What type of equation would this be, and how can I solve this problem? Thanks so much.
