If a canoe travels with a speed of a mph for 3 hours, and then with a speed of b mph for the rest of the journey, how long does it take to travel c miles?

show how you did it.

t = (C - 3*A)/B + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

the speed with which canoe travelled for first 3 hours = A

the speed with which he travelled for any and all time thereafter = B

As we do not know the values of A, B, or C, so the answer will be an expression for C in terms of A and B.

distance = speed x time

C = A*3 + B*(t-3)

Rearranging and solving for t

C - (A*3) = B*(t-3)

C - (A*3) = Bt - B3

C - (A*3) + B3 = Bt

t = C - (A*3) + B3 / B

or

t = (C - 3*A)/B + 3
