Question 206567: Craig Drives 20 miles per hour faster than sara. in the same time that sara drives 225 miles, craig drives 325 miles. find the speed of each car

d=vt so t=d/v
Let x=sara's speed
Then x+20=craig's speed
225/x=325/(x+20)
Multiply both sides by x(x+20)
225(x+20)=325x
225x+4500=325x
100x=4500
x=(Sara's speed) 100 mi/hr
x+20=(Craig's speed) 120 mi/hr
