Question 872740: two cars start from two twons 200 miles apart and travel towards each other.
they pass each other after 2 hours. Find the speed of each car if the diffrence between their speeds is
10 miles per hour. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! two cars start from two towns 200 miles apart and travel towards each other.
they pass each other after 2 hours. Find the speed of each car if the diffrence between their speeds is
10 miles per hour.
-------
distance = rate*time
------
1st car:: dist = 2x miles
2nd car:: distance = 2(x+10) miles
--------
Equation:
2x + 2(x+10) = 200 miles
4x + 20 = 200
4x = 180 miles
x = 45 mph (slower car rate)
x+10 = 55 mph (faster car rate)
