Two cars, which are 210 miles apart, drive towards
each other at constant speeds. The speed of the
second car is 20 miles per hour faster than the first car.The cars pass each other in 1 1/2 hours. What is the speed of both cars?

Respuesta :

Answer:

slower car=60 miles/hr

faster car =80 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

the speed of slower car =x

the speed of faster car=x+20

they both 210 miles apart

(x+x+20)*(1 1/2 )=210

(2x+20)(3/2)=210

3x+30=210

3x=210-30

3x=180

x=180/3 ⇒ x=60

x+20 ⇒ 60+20=80
