Answer:
The speed from A to B is 40 km/h.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from A to B = 40 km
Distance from B to C = 30 km
Speed from A to B is v km/h
Speed fro B to C is v + 5 .
total time, t = 2 hours
Stopping time at B = 20 minutes
Let the time from A to B is t'.
[tex]t'=\frac{40}{v}[/tex]
Let the time from B to C is t''.
[tex]t''= \frac{30}{v+5}[/tex]
The total time is
[tex]\frac{40}{v}+\frac{30}{v+5}+\frac{20}{60}=2\\\\\frac{40 v + 200 + 30 v}{v^2 + 5 v}=\frac{10}{6}\\\\420 v + 1200 = 10 v^2 + 50 v\\\\10 v^2 -370 v - 1200 = 0 \\\\v^2 - 37v - 120 = 0 \\\\v^2 - 40 v + 3 v - 120 = 0 \\\\v(v - 40) + 3 (v - 40) = 0\\\\(v - 4)(v + 3) = 0\\\\v = 40 km/h or - 3 km/h[/tex]
Speed cannot be negative so the speed from A to B is 450 km/h.
