Answer:

90 miles!

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two parts to the problem, meaning you'll need 2 equations.

let's call the distance TO the grandma's house d1, and BACK from the grandma's house d2.

KEY:

time TO g'ma house= t1

time FROM g'ma house=t2

(replace the t's with 's' for speed, with the '1' for to, and '2' for from)

(distance is a constant so d1 is always equal to d2).

-------------

d1=s1+t1, d2=s2+t2

we know what t1 is. 2 hours.

d1=s1•2

meaning that d2 is also equal to that.

s1•2=(s1-5)•2 1/4

2s1=2 1/4 s1-11 1/4

11 1/4= 2 1/4 s1-2s1

11 1/4 = 1/4 s1

s1 (to g'ma)=45 mph

distance is speed times time.

so 45•2 (hr) = 90.
