Question 476565: Two cars leave an intersection. One car travels north; the other travels east. When the car traveling north
had gone 24 miles, the distance between the cars was four miles more than three times the distance
traveled by the car heading east. Find the distance between the cars at that time.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Car N 24 miles other leg
Car E = x miles one leg
Car E has traveled 3x+4 miles Hypotenuse
/8
x=7 omit x=10
Distance = 3x+4 ===> 3*7+4=25 miles
distance between two cars = 25 miles
