Two cars travel from city A to city B. Car 1 travels at 50 mph and takes 2 hours longer to cover the distance between the cities than car 2 which travels at 60 mph. How long does it take car 1 to drive from city A to city B?
***
let x= amount of time it takes car 1 to drive from city A to city B?
x-2=amount of time it takes car 2 to drive from city A to city B?
distance=speed*travel time (same for both cars)
50x=60(x-2)
50x=60x-120
10x=120
x=12
amount of time it takes car 1 to drive from city A to city B? 12 hrs
