**Problem Statement:**

Jo drove his car for x  minutes at a speed of 40 km/h, and then he drove another 15 km in 20 minutes. Given the average speed for the whole journey is 41.53846154 km

To solve the problem, we can break it down into the following steps:

1. **Calculate the distance for the first part of the journey:**
   - Jo drove for \( x \) minutes at a speed of 40 km/h.
   - Distance for this part: \( d_1 = \frac{40}{60} \times x = \frac{2}{3}x \) km.

2. **Calculate the distance for the second part of the journey:**
   - Jo drove 15 km in 20 minutes.
   - Distance for this part: \( d_2 = 15 \) km.

3. **Calculate the total distance for the entire journey:**
   - Total distance \( d_{\text{total}} = d_1 + d_2 = \frac{2}{3}x + 15 \) km.

4. **Calculate the total time for the entire journey:**
   - The time for the first part is \( \frac{x}{60} \) hours.
   - The time for the second part is \( \frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3} \) hours.
   - Total time \( t_{\text{total}} = \frac{x}{60} + \frac{1}{3} \) hours.

5. **Use the average speed formula:**
   - The average speed is given as 41.53846154 km/h.
   - The formula for average speed is:
     \[
     \text{Average speed} = \frac{d_{\text{total}}}{t_{\text{total}}}
     \]
     Substituting the values:
     \[
     41.53846154 = \frac{\frac{2}{3}x + 15}{\frac{x}{60} + \frac{1}{3}}
     \]

6. **Solve for \( x \):**
   \[
   41.53846154 \times \left(\frac{x}{60} + \frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{2}{3}x + 15
   \]
   Multiply both sides by 60 to eliminate the denominator:
   \[
   2492.3076924 \times \left(\frac{x}{60} + \frac{1}{3}\right) = 40x + 900
   \]
   Simplify and solve for \( x \) from this equation.
