Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equation:
A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`x^(2)-8x-1280=0`(x=Speed of the train)
