Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 4 h, and Car B traveled the distance in 4.5 h. Car B traveled 5 mph slower than Car A.
Speed of car A = S
Speed of car B = S - 5
4S = 4.5(S - 5), solve for S
S =45 mph - the speed of car A
45 - 5 = 40 mph - speed of car B
