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

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: No


Step-by-step explanation:

Three of the other angles are 45°. The other four are 180° - 45°, which is not 55°. At the intersection of two lines, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are complementary, so two adjacent angles add to 180°. Adding a parallel line gives four more angles identical to the first four.
