Answer:

jamal traveled 5 hours at 55mph and 4 hours at 60mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time x will be time jamal travels 55 mph (in hours)

time y will be time jamal travels 60 mph (in hours)

distanced traveled 520 miles

distance = time*speed

520= x*55+y*60

520=55x+60y

jamal traveled for 9 hours

9 hours is composed to the two times x and y

9=x+y

then

x=9-y

substitute into 520=55x+60y

520=55(9-y)+60y

520=495-55y+60y

520=495+5y

25=5y

y=5

x+y=9

x+5=9

x=4

time x is time jamal travels 55 mph (in hours)

time y is time jamal travels 60 mph (in hours)

jamal traveled 5 hours at 55mph and 4 hours at 60mph
