Two cars simultaneously left Points A and B and headed towards each other, and met after 2 hours and 45 minutes. The distance between points A and B is 264 miles. What is the speeds of the cars, if one of the cars travels 14 mph faster than the other?

Moving in opposite directions ---> the speeds are added.

Find the sum of the speeds, call them A & B
----
Then,
A + B = sum
A - B = 14
