Algebra.Com's Answer #570537 by Danielshinmath(31)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This means the faster car will go 30 miles total more than the slower car. So that means the slower car + the faster car=300. Th faster car is 30 +the slower car, so it is 2(slower car)+30=300 so that means 2 times the slower car is 270. But they have driven 3 hours, so each car goes 45mph and 45+10=55mph.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER:45mph and 55mph \n" ); document.write( " |
