Let \"s\" = the speed of the slower car
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s+%2B+40\" = the speed of the faster car.
\n" ); document.write( "The faster car will go further in the same time, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"350+=+%28s+%2B+40%29%2At\" km
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"150+=+st\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+150%2Fs\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( "\"350+=+%28s+%2B+40%29%2A%28150%2Fs%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"350+=+150+%2B+6000%2Fs\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"350s+=+150s+%2B+6000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"200s+=+6000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+30\" km/hr answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
