Question

John travels 16m ^2 +100 miles. /since he can only travel 8m +10 mph, it takes him 2m hours to make the trip. Solve for m

Answer 1

m = 5

Explanation:

distance traveled D= 16m^2+100 miles

speed, S= 8m+10 mph

time taken, T = 2m hours

We know that D = S×T

⇒ 16m^2+100 = (8m+10)× 2m

⇒ 16m^2+100 = 16m^2+ 20m

⇒ 20m = 100

⇒ m = 5

Therefore, the value of m is 5
