Calculation of Express Train Speed

To determine the average speed of the Express train, we can use the information provided. We know that the regular train takes 40 minutes longer than the Express train to travel a distance of 80 km from city A to city B.

Let's assume the average speed of the Express train is x km/h.

The regular train, which is 20 km/h slower than the Express train, would have an average speed of (x - 20) km/h.

We can use the formula speed = distance / time to calculate the time taken by each train.

For the regular train: - Distance: 80 km - Speed: (x - 20) km/h - Time: 80 km / (x - 20) km/h

For the Express train: - Distance: 80 km - Speed: x km/h - Time: 80 km / x km/h

According to the given information, the regular train takes 40 minutes longer than the Express train. We can convert this to hours by dividing 40 minutes by 60.

So, the equation becomes:

80 km / (x - 20) km/h = 80 km / x km/h + 40 minutes / 60

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x, which represents the average speed of the Express train.

Solving the Equation

To solve the equation, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

80 km * x = 80 km * (x - 20) + (40/60) * x km

80x = 80x - 1600 + (2/3)x

Combining like terms:

80x - 80x + (2/3)x = -1600

(2/3)x = -1600

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2:

(2/3)x * (3/2) = -1600 * (3/2)

x = -2400

However, a negative speed does not make sense in this context. Therefore, we can conclude that there is no valid solution for the average speed of the Express train based on the given information.
