Algebra Problem 20
Construction Delay

Randy is driving from Downtown Salem to Portland International Airport.  He has just one hour to get to his flight on time.  Randy gets just past Wilsonville ( halfway to the airport ) when he realized road construction had limited his speed to an average 40 miles per hour for the first 30 miles of his trip.

How fast must he drive to be just in time for his flight?  Will he risk getting a ticket?
