<PRE><B>Question 902311</B>
Two cars leave Kansas City at the same time. One travels East, and the other West. After 3 hours, the cars are 369 miles apart. If one car travels 7 MPH slower than the other, find the speed of each car.
***
let x=speed of faster car
x-7=speed of slower car
distance=traveltime*speed
{{{3x+3(x-7)=369}}}
3x+3x-21=369
6x=390
x=65
x-7=58
speed of faster car=65 mph
speed of slower car=58 mph</PRE>
