Two cars leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One car is traveling 12 mph faster than the other. After 2 hours, they are 232 miles apart. What is the speed of each car?
Find
the speed of each car.
Let a be the first car
Let b be the second car
=> a = x miles per hour
=> b = x + 12 miles per hour
=> 2 (x+ x + 12) = 232 miles per hour
=> 2x + 12 = 232
=> 2x + 12 = 116
=> 2x = 116 - 12
=> 2x / 2 = 104 / 2
=> x = 52 (speed of Car A)
=> 52 + 12 = 64 miles per hour (speed of Car B)
