Alberto left the airport and traveled toward the capital. One hour later Danielle left traveling 10 km/h faster in an effort to catch up to him. After five hours Danielle finally caught up. What was Alberto's average speed?​

Answer:

Explanation:

Alberto traveled v km/h.

After 1 hour they are v km apart.

Danielle travels (v+10) km/h.

The distance between them decreases by 10 km/h.

They meet in 5 hours, after Danielle has traveled 5v+50 km and Alberto has traveled 6v km.

6v = 5v+50

v = 50 km/h

Alberto travels 50 km/h
