Nai'a drives from her home to the North Shore in 2 hours. After surfing for 3 hours, she returns home at a rate of 20 mph less than her rate going. If Nai'a is gone a total of 8 hours, how fast did she drive each way?

Answer:

60 mph going, 40 mph coming

it takes her 3 hours to get back

60 mph for 2 hours is 120 miles

40 mph for 3 hours is 120 miles.
