4. Problems for class #2
Dieter makes a journey of 430 km , travelling 160 km by bus and 270 km by car. If the car averages 10km/h faster than the bus and the whole journey takes 5 hours, what is the speed of the car?

5. Let x=speed of the bus in km/h
Thus x+10= speed of car in km/h

6. Problems for class #2 Let x=speed of the bus in km/h
Thus x+10= speed of car in km/h

7. Problems for class#3
A car is travelling a distance of 212 km. It travels 98 km on paved road and the rest on gravel road causing them to reduce their speed by 30km/h. If the trip took 4 hours, what was the speed of the car during the first part of the trip?

8. Problems for class #3 Let x= speed on paved road
x-30=speed on gravel road

9. Problem for class #3 Use Quadratic Formula

10. Problems for class #3 Answer the question.
The speed on paved road is 72.9 km/h
The speed on gravel road is 42.9 km/h

11. Problems for class #4
A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. The machine cuts equal sized squares measuring 2 cm on a side from each corner. Then the machine shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. If each box must have a volume of 200 cubic cm, what should the dimensions of the piece of sheet metal be?

12. Problems for class #4 Let x= the length of the side of the sheet metal
Since the metal is square then x= width of the side of the sheet metal.
Volume=
(X-4)(x-4)(2)=200
Solve the equation for x.
