Car A can travel 250 miles in 3 hours less time than it takes car B to travel 440 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " The rate of car B is 5 mph faster than that of car A.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the rates of both cars.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = rate of car A
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(s+5) = rate of car B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, time = dist/rate
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Car A time + 3 hrs = Car B time
\n" ); document.write( "\"250%2Fs\" + 3 = \"440%2F%28%28s%2B5%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "That's how you set it up, if you can't complete it, let me know,
\n" ); document.write( " I will edit this to show the rest of the procedure \n" ); document.write( "
