Yes. I think that you need to add feature to edit posting. Some typo needs editing.

Hello,

the provided 1st case solution to 'Word Problem #14' is correct.
but the provided 2nd case solution to 'Word Problem #14' isn't correct.

It is nonsensical to say the length of the detour is 28 km longer than the original route,
and then to give the calculated distance of the detour as only 20 km.

The mistake is here:

The distance from C to B is 32(x−3/4) = 40x + 28 km

should be:

The distance from C to B is 32(x−1/4) = 40x + 28 km

then the results are:

planned total distance A_C_B = 96 + 72 = 168 km
planned total time A_C_B = 180 + 135 = 315 minutes = 21/4 hours

actual total distance A_C_B = 96 + 100 = 196 km
actual total time A_C_B = 180 + 15 + 150 = 345 minutes = 23/4 hours

best, Greg

Thank you very much.
I will fix that later today.

Re: Algebra/Word Problems #14

hello,

the B solution in Algebra/Word Problem #14 still has an error.
40*2.5 = 110
should be:
40*2.5 = 100
