Let x = speed of the first car

the second car is 12 km slower so the seconds car speed is x-12

 they each drove 2 hours so 1st car = 2x
2nd car = 2(x-12)
 
they drove 360 km
 so you have 2x + 2(x-12) = 360
 solve for x

2x+2(x-12) = 360

2x + 2x-24 = 360

4x-24 = 360

4x = 384
x = 384/4
x = 96

1st car drove at 96 km per hour

slower car drove at 96-12 = 84 km per hour

How do you do this? Thanks for your time and effort!
V125BC [204]
Well first you have to simplify the denominators with x, by multiplying the denominator on the left times the top and bottom of the middle, and vice versa to get 10x/(4x^2-4x)-9(2x-2)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you combine the fractions on the left to get 2(9-4x)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you cross multiply the fractions to get 8(9-4x)=-4x^2+4x and then simplify to get 72-32x=-4x^2+4x and then 4x^2-36x+72=0 which then we can turn into 4(x-6)(x-3)=0 so x is 6 and 3
