i was told this question is not complete to answer? is that true?

normal speed ---- x km/h
time at normal speed = 240/x hours
reduced speed --- x-20 km/h
time at reduced speed = 240/(x-20)
solve:
240/(x-20) - 240/x =1
hint: multiply each term by x(x-2)
time at normal speed = 240/x hours
reduced speed --- x-20 km/h
time at reduced speed = 240/(x-20)
solve:
240/(x-20) - 240/x =1
hint: multiply each term by x(x-2)
