Ryan drives 20 MPH faster than Allicia. In the same time that Allicia drives 225km, Ryan drives 325km. Find the speed of each car
let x= Speed of Allicia's car
x+20=Speed of Ryan's car
travel time=distance/speed
225/x=325/(x+20)
325x=225x+4500
100x=4500
x=45
x+20=65
Speed of Allicia's car=45 mph
Speed of Ryan's car=65 mph
