Represent the speed in terms of

x :

trip 1 : x

trip 1 Speed x Time 4 Distance 220

Write an equation for trip 1Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

220 = x \cdot 4

Löse nach

x, 220 = x \cdot 4 : x = 55

speed : 55

Represent the distance in terms of

y :

trip 2 : y

trip 2 Speed 55 Time 3 Distance y

Write an equation for trip 2Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

y = 55 \cdot 3
