Question

Two cars start from the same place at the same time. After two hours, one car has traveled 30% farther than the other. If one car's speed is 20mph larger than the other car's speed, what are the speeds of the cars? Solve algebraically.

Answer 1

V2 = 1.3 V1
V2 = V1 + 20

Solve simultaneously.

The first step might be

0 = 0.3 V1 -20
Solve for V1; then V2

Answer 2

how did you get 1.3?
