Answer:

  • 320/x + 1/3 = 320/(x - 4)
  • x = 64 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed is x.

We have equation:

  • 320/x + 20/60 = 320/(x - 4) ⇒ 320/x + 1/3 = 320/(x - 4)

To solve we need to get rid of fraction:

  • 320(x - 4) + 1/3x(x - 4) = 320x
  • x² - 4x - 3840 = 0
  • x² - 4x + 4 = 3844
  • (x - 2)² = 62²
  • x - 2 = 62
  • x = 64
