The Zed Zee courier drove to a location 180 miles away to deliver an urgent package. The courier's average speed driving from the delivery location back to her starting location was 20 mi/h less than her average speed driving to the delivery location. If the entire trip took 7.5 hours, what was her average speed driving to the delivery location?

Let her average speed to the delivery location==S

 

Average speed==Total distance / total time.

 

[180 / S]  +  [180 / (S - 20)] ==7.5, solve for S

 

S ==60 mph - her average speed to the delivery location.
