Explanation

lw = 297 ... (1)

(l+3)(w-1) = 297 + 3

lw - l + 3w - 3 = 300

297 - l + 3w = 303

-l + 3w = 6 ... (2)

From (1), l = 297/w

Substitute in (2):

-297/w + 3w = 6

3w² - 6w - 297 = 0

w² - 2w - 99 = 0

(w-11)(w+9) = 0

w = 11

l = 297/11 = 27

Initial value = 12000

Depreciation = 5% per year

Year 1: 12000 × 0.95 = 11400

Year 2: 11400 × 0.95 = 10830

Year 3: 10830 × 0.95 = 10288.5

Year 4: 10288.5 × 0.95 = 9774.075 ≈ 9774

Departure: 8:35 a.m.

Arrival: 3:12 p.m.

Convert both times to 24‑hour format:

- 8:35 a.m. → 08:35

- 3:12 p.m. → 15:12

Difference:

15:12 − 08:35

→ (15 – 8) hours = 6 hours

→ (12 – 35) minutes = –23 minutes

→ Borrow 1 hour → 6 hours → 5 hours 60 minutes

→ 60 – 23 = 37 minutes

Total journey: 6 hours 37 minutes
