Answer:

The rate of the slower car = 1.5km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two cars is 450km

Let the two cars be A and B

One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hour less than the other's

A = 12 + B

Speed = distance/time

Total distance = 45 - x + x

Let distance covered by A = x

Distance covered by B = 45 - x

For A

Speed = distance/time

A = x/3

But A = 12 + B

X = 3(12 + B) ...... (1)

For B

B = (45 - x)/3

45 - x = 3B

X = 45 - 3B ........ (2)

Equate equation 1 and 2

36 + 3B = 45 - 3B

Collect the like terms

6B = 9

B = 1.5 km/h

Therefore, the rate of the slower car is 1.5 km/ h

Answer:

-3.8=n

Step-by-step explanation:

My goal is to get n all by itself, but its multiplied by 6. If I do the inverse operation (which is division) on both sides I will get -22.8/6=n. Now I can just simply combine the like terms and finalize my answer. 6 * 3=18 but -22.8 is a decimal number so my answer will range from around 3.5-3.9. if I divide -22.8/6 I get -3.8. My final answer is n=-3.8
