Peter travels to his uncle's home 30km away from his place. he cycles for two thirds of the journey before the bicycle develops a mechanical problem and he has to push it for the rest of the journey. if his cycling speed is 10km/hr faster than his walking speed and he completes the journey in 3hr 20minutes, determine his cycling speed?

Cycling Speed is 15km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cycling speed of Peter be xkm/hr

His walking speed is (x-10km/hr)

Distance cycling is 2/3 x 30 = 20km

Distance walking 1/3 x 30 = 10km

Time taken in cycling = distance/ speed

Time = 20/x

This gives 20/x km/hr

Time walking is 10 / (x-10)

= 10/x-10) hrs

Total time = (20/x + 10/x+10)

Therefore 10/x+10/x-10 = 10/3

60(x-10)+30(x)=10x(x-10)

10x² - 190x+600=0

x²-19+60=0

x=19±√361-240

        2

x=15 0r x =4

His cycling speed is 4

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

answer: 20
