a car travels 395 miles in the same time that a motorcycle travels 345 miles. If the car's speed is 10 miles per hour more than the motorcycle's, find the speed of the car and the speed of the motorcycle.
**
let x=speed of motorcycle
x+10=speed of car
travel time = distance/speed
395/(x+10)=345/X
395x=345x+3450
50x+3450
x=69
x+10=79
ans:
speed of motorcycle=69 mph
speed of car=79 mph
