<span>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)</span>
Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).
