Maya drove on the mountains for her trip. Due to traffic, her average rate of miles per hour was faster at the time of coming back to her home than going on her trip. Thus, The distance between where she lives and the mountains is

288 miles .

Let's consider that Maya live x miles from the mountains.

Let her rate to mountains be y miles/h.

we have given that

Driveing time taken by Maya going from home to trip location= 9 hours due to traffic

total return time taken by her = 4 hours

average rate = 40 miles/hour

Using rate formula,

Rate = distance/time

=> distance (d) = rate (r) × time (t)

so, x/y = 9

=> x=9y --(1)

Return trip 4 hours then rate = y+40

=> x/(y+40) =4 --(2)

using Substitution method, x= 3 substitute in (2)

=> 9y/(y+40)=4

=> 9y=4y+160

=> 9y-4y=160

=> 5y=160

=> y= 160/5

=> y=32

Now, x=9y

x=9×32= 288 miles

Hence, distance to the mountain is 288 miles.
