Math problem for you people

You go from A to B at 80km/h
You come back from B to A at 70km/h
The trip took 4 hours.
What's the distance between A and B?

Ok so how did you get to that obviously it is something small considering we were only .7 km off...Quote:

v1 = 80km/h v2 = 70km/h d1 = v1 * t1 d2 = v2 * t2 d1 = d2 t1 = 4 - t2
That's all you need; solve.

That would be the quick route. But cutting corners over a distance of nearly 150km is of course a ludicrous idea.

80kph / xh = 70kph / yh xh + yh = 4h y = 4 - x
80x=70(4-x) 80x=280 - 70x 150x = 280 x=280/150 x= 1.8667 y=2.13333
80*1.8667 = 70*2.1333 149.33=149.33
