---
relative speed of cars:
s = d / t
s = 300 / 3
s = 100 mph
---
x + y = 100
x = y + 10
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 100
x - y = 10
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

x= 55
y= 45
---
answer:
car-1 = 55 mph
car-2 = 45 mph
