They are moving apart at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+s+\"$ = the speed of the slower car
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+570+=+%28+s+%2B+s+%2B+5+%29%2A6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+570+=+%28+2s+%2B+5+%29%2A6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2s+%2B+5+=+95+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2s+=+90+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+=+45+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+%2B+5+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The speeds of the cars are
\n" ); document.write( "45 mi/hr and 50 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
