| Algebra.Com's Answer #90839 by PBMathandscience(9)      You can put this solution on YOUR website! In five hours, A will have driven 40mph * 5hours = 200 miles, plus the additional 30 mile head start, so A will have travelled a total of 230 miles. B must cover this same distance in 5 hours, so B's speed must be 230 miles/5 hours or 46 mph. \n" ); document.write( " |
