let the velocity of the truck be V.
relative distance=relativevelocity*time
1448=(2v+19)/8
solve for v, the velocity of the truck. Then v+19 is the velocity of the car.
relative distance=relativevelocity*time
1448=(2v+19)/8
solve for v, the velocity of the truck. Then v+19 is the velocity of the car.
