Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
卂иรωεƦ:-✌✌
Let original speed of the train be x km/h.
Then, time taken to travel 63 km = 63/x hours
New speed = (x + 6) km/hr
Time taken to travel 72 km = 72/(x + 6) hours
According to the question,
x2 - 39x - 126 = 0
(x - 42)(x + 3) = 0
x = -3 or x = 42
As the speed cannot be negative, x = 42
Thus, the average speed of the train is 42 km/hr.

Answer:
Let average speed be x km/hr.
x
63
+
x+6
72
=3
21(x+6)+24x=x

−39x−126=0
(x−42)(x+3)=0
x=42 km/hr
