Worked solution
8(a)
1. Formulate expressions for the distance travelled in both directions
Let the speed from Town to be km/h.
Distance from to =
Speed from to = km/h
Time taken from to = hours
Distance from to =
2. Equate the distances and solve for the speed
Since the distance is the same:
Therefore, her travelling speed from Town to is 36 km/h.
