A car drives downhill with the speed of 90 m/h. On a level road, the same car goes 72 m/h, and uphill it goes "only" 60 m/h.
It takes this car 5 hours to go from town A to town B. The return trip only takes 4 hours.
Find the distance between the two towns.

Hehe, bless the "New Comments" search :)
When you say "hill" is the length of the graded section of the road, do you mean the total length of the graded road, or just the portion relating to the respective incline?
In any case, I didn't quite understand how you arrived at your formula.
