A YAMAHA motorcycle can cover 240Km at a certain speed. Another
BAJAJ motorcycle whose speed is 12Km/h less takes an hour longer to
cover the same distance. Find the speed of the YAMAHA motorcycle
in Km/h.

Respuesta :

The speed of the YAMAHA motorcycle will be 60 km/h.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Let's say the speed of Yamaha is y and the time taken to cover 240 km is t.

Then,

yt = 240

Now given that BAJAJ motorcycle speed is 12 k,/hr less and takes 1 hour more

So,

(y - 12)(t + 1) = 240

By equating both and solving them,

y² - 12 y - 2880 = 0

y = 60,-48 since speed can never be negative so it will be 60 km/h.

Hence "The speed of the YAMAHA motorcycle will be 60 km/h".
