Let's denote the average speed for the trip by V (V = 10km/h), the speed for the first 20km by V1 (V1 = 20km/h) and the speed for the last 20km by V2 (V2 is unknown), the first and the second parts of a distance by S1 and S2 (s1 = S2 = 20[km]), and the time for the first and the second parts of a distance by T1 and T2 respectfully.
