Question 265671: How do I set up the following equation?
Car 1 travels at an average speed of 50 mph. Car 2 travels at an average speed of 40 mph. In the time it takes car 1 to travel a certain distance (d), car 2 travels 100 miles further. Find the distance each car travels and the time of the trip. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You have posed the problem incorrectly somehow. It is not possible for the slower car to travel farther than the faster car in the same amount of time.
