You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since they meet together at same distacne; the distance is 560miles.
Let the speed of the car B be x
Together x+60=560. Now the times for car a is 6h total and the time for car b is 4 hours total.
Car a = 6(60)
car b = 4(x)
together = 560 miles
4(x)+6(60)=560
4x+360=560
4x=200
x=50
