A secret agent sent a messenger to deliver a package to a certain location. the messenger posed as a regular person out for a jog with the package tucked securely in a hidden pocket. it took the messenger 30 min to arrive at the delivery location. on the way back, she reduced her speed by 1 mph, and it took her 36 min to get back. at what speed did the messenger jog from her starting point to the delivery location?

Respuesta :

The messenger jogged at a speed of 6 mph from her starting point to the delivery location.

Using velocity formula,

v=s/t

Where v= velocity, s= distance, t= times= v*t

Using the distance formula,

s=v*30/60 

s=1/2v --- (1)

s= (v-1)*36/60

s=(v-1)*3/5 --- (2)

1/2v=(v-1)*3/5

1/2v=3/5v-3/5

1/2v-3/5v=-3/5

-1/10v=-3/5

v=(-3/5)/(-1/10)

v=-30/-5v

= 6

The speed with which the messenger was going from point A to point B was 6 mph.
