Explanation Given: The distance between the places Houston and Mobile is 510 mi. A Coast Guard ship travels from Houston to Mobile at a speed and returns to the same place with a speed 6 mi per hr faster. The total travel time taken is 35 h. Calculation: The speed of an object is calculated by the following formula. speed = distance time The distance between Houston and Mobile is 510 mi. Let v 1 be the velocity with which the ship travels from Houston and Mobile and t 1 is the time taken. That is, 510 = v 1 t 1 t 1 = 510 v 1 Let t 2 be the time taken for the ship to return. That is, 510 = ( v 1 + 6 ) t 2 t 2 = 510 ( v 1 + 6 ) The total travel time is given as 35 h. t 1 + t 2 = 35 510 v 1 + 510 ( v 1 + 6 ) = 35 510 ( v 1 +
