+318 Two cars start out together from the same place. They travel in opposite directions, with one of them traveling
10 miles per hour faster than the other. After two hours, they are 280 miles apart. How fast is each car traveling?
The slower car travels at
_____???
miles per hour and the faster car travels at
_____??
miles per hour.
+36916 x = speed of slower car
x+10 = faster car
rate * time = distance
(x + x+10 ) * 2 hrs = 280 miles solve for 'x' = slower car then x+10 = faster car
+36916 x = speed of slower car
x+10 = faster car
rate * time = distance
(x + x+10 ) * 2 hrs = 280 miles solve for 'x' = slower car then x+10 = faster car
