You can put this solution on YOUR website! A motorcycle travels 196 miles in the same amount of time that a car travels 161 miles. The rate of the motorcycle is 10 miles per hour faster than the rate of the car. Find the rate of the car.
***
let x=rate of car
x+10=rate of motorcycle
travel time=distance/rate
196x=161(x+10)
196x=161x+1610
35x=1610
x=46 mph
congratulations! You did it correctly
