To answer this item, we let the original speed of the car be x. The time it take to travel a certain distance is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed. Using the condition given above,
189 / (x + 12) = 189/x - 1
The value of x from the equation is 42 mph. Thus, the original speed of the car is 42 mph.
