In the given example of the text, the bones refer to the human being.

(3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax2+kx+n ...............(1)

But (3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 6x2-11x-10........(2)

so by comparing (1) & (2),

we get a= 6, k= -11 , n= -10

(a - n + k) = 6 + 10 - 11 = 5.

Given equation  5x-17 = -x+7

Add 1x to each side of the equation

5x-17+x = -x+7+x

6x=24

x=4

We know that,  Speed = Distance/time

Let the speed of the train be = x kmph

           NORMAL SPEED                           SPEED 5 KMPH MORE

          Distance = 360 Km                         Distance =360
 
          speed    =  X Kmph                        Speed = (x+5)
 
            Time =360/X                              Time =360/(x+15)
          

For the same journey if the speed increased 10 kmph more it will take 1 hour less

Time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1

 => (360/x) - (360/x+10) =  1                               

 =>  (360(x+5)-360x)/x(x+5) =1

 =>   360X + 1800 -360X  = X(X+5)

  =>   X^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0

  X = 40 or -45

 X cannot be negetive value
                  

 X = 40 kmph.
