Gabrielle went on a 72 mile trip to a soccer game. On the way back, due to road construction she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower. This made the trip take 9 hours longer. How fast did she drive to the soccer game?

Gabrielle drove to the soccer game at the speed of 18 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance covered = 72 miles

On the way back, she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower due to road construction which made the trip take 9 hours longer.

To find: speed

Solution:

Let speed be x miles/hour

Time taken = distance covered/time taken =  hours

On the way back, she had to drive 18 miles per hour slower due to road construction

So, new speed = ( x - 18 ) miles/hour

Time taken as per new speed =  hours

According to question,

Being a speed, x can not be negative. So, is rejected

So,

Gabrielle drove to the soccer game at the speed of 18 miles/hour
