Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

distance is the same "d" miles for each, if car A is going at a speed of "r", then B is going at a speed of "r+15"

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Car A}&d&r&2\\
\textit{Car B}&d&r+15&1.5
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=2r\\
d=1.5(r+15)\\
----------\\
\boxed{2r}=1.5(r+15)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2r=1.5r+22.5\implies 0.5r=22.5\implies r=\cfrac{22.5}{0.5}\implies r=45

how far is B going?  well, B's rate is r+15.

How many sets of 7 questions can be chosen from a file of 25 questions?
likoan [24]
If all 25 questions are different,

When order of selection counts:
P(25,7)
=25!/(25-7)!
=15511210043330985984000000/6402373705728000
=2422728000

When order of selection does not count count:
C(25,7)
=25!/(7!*(25-7)!)
=15511210043330985984000000/(6402373705728000*5040)
=480700
