Question

The speed limit on a road drops down to 15 miles per hour around a curve. Mr. Gerard slows down by 10 miles per hour as he drives around the curve. He never drives above the speed limit. At what speed was Mr. Gerard driving before the curve? Please write your inequality.

Answer 1

x ≤ 25mph

Explanation:

Given that :

Speed limit drops to 15 miles per hour at curve

Driver slows down by 10 miles per hour as he drives around the curve

The driver's speed before reaching the curve is :

Let speed befure curve = x

Lowest speed before curve = 15 +. 10 = 25 mph

x ≤ 25mph
