): Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time.
\n" ); document.write( " Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the distance in 1.5 h. Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A.
\n" ); document.write( "How fast did Car B travel?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = Car B's speed
\n" ); document.write( "Car B is 15 mph faster than A, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(s-15) = Car A's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "2(s-15) = 1.5s
\n" ); document.write( "2s - 30 = 1.5s
\n" ); document.write( "2s - 1.5s = 30
\n" ); document.write( ".5s = 30
\n" ); document.write( "s = 60 mph is car B's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this find the distances, they should be equal
\n" ); document.write( "2(60-15)) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "1.5(60) = 90\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
