Answer:

  • 9 km/h or 48 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the distance is d, speed is s

As per given we have:

  • d/s = 5
  • 36/s + (d - 36)/(s + 3) = 5 - 1/4

Substitute d with 5s and solve for s:

  • 36/s + (5s - 36)/(s + 3) = 19/4
  • 36(s + 3) + s(5s - 36) = 19s(s + 3)/4
  • 4(36s + 108 + 5s² - 36s) = 19s² + 57s
  • 20s² + 432 = 19s² + 57s
  • s² - 57s + 432 = 0
  • s² - 9s - 48s + 432 = 0
  • s(s - 9) - 48(s - 9) = 0
  • (s - 9)(s - 48) = 0
  • s -9 = 0 ⇒ s = 9 km/h
  • s - 48 = 0 ⇒ s = 48  km/h

The original speed of grey wolf can be 9 km/h or 48 km/h
