Answer:

Speeds of two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cars leave a town at same time.

Speed of one car = 12 mph faster than other.

Let the speed of other car is x.

then speed of first car = (x+12)

After 2 hours they are 232 miles apart.

Distance traveled by first car in 2 hours = 2x miles

Distance traveled by second car in 2 hours = 2( x+12 ) miles

Therefore, 2x + 2 (x+12) = 232

                   x = ( x + 12 ) =  \frac{232}{2} = 116

                  2x + 12 = 116

                  2x = 116 - 12

                 2x = 104

                  x =  \frac{104}{2}

                   x = 52 miles/hour

Speed of the first car = x + 12

                                  =  52 + 12

                                   = 64 mph

Speeds of two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.

One is going 52 and the other 64
2 (x)+2 (x+12)=232 and solve

Find what h equals please help ASAP THANK YOU!<br><br> 4h-1=3h+2
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
H = 3.

FIRST STEP:
<span>Add 1 to both sides to get rid of the -1 on the left side.
4h-1 = 3h+2
</span><span>4h-1 (+1) = 3h+2 (+1)
</span><span>4h = 3h+3
 
SECOND (FINAL) STEP:
Subtract 3h from both sides to get rid of the 3h on the right side.
</span>4h(-3h) = 3h+3 (-3h)
h = 3
Hope this helps, sorry if it's hard to understand :)

Graph the following equation: y = 5
Irina-Kira [14]

If you graphed the equation: y = 5

You would put a straight line going horizontally through 5. Like this picture shows. If it were x = 5, for example, then it would go up and down through 5.

Let me know if this helped! Have a nice day!
