The correct graph is the third one, with the solid dots at -3 and 3.

The bars around x stand for absolute value, which is defined as the distance a number is from 0. We want to know what number or numbers is/are 3 units away from 0 on a number line; the only choices are 3 or -3.

This means we must plot points at -3 and 3. They must be solid points, since these numbers are included in the solution (they are, in fact, the only ones of the solution).

The answers are:

$FirstCarSpeed=41mph\\SecondCarSpeed=55mph$

To calculate the speed of the cars, we need to write two equations, one for each car, in order to create a relation between the two speeds and be able to calculate one in function of the other.

So,

Tet be the first car speed "x" and the second car speed "y", writing the equations we have:

For the first car:

$x_{FirstCar}=x_o+v*t$

For the second car:

We know that the speed of the second car is the speed of the first car plus 14 mph, so:

$x_{SecondCar}=x_o+(v+14mph)*t$

Now, from the statement that both cars met after 2 hours and 45 minutes, and the distance between to cover (between A and B) is 264 miles, so, we can calculate the relative speed between them:

If the cars are moving towards each other the relative speed will be:

$RelativeSpeed=FirstCarSpeed-(-SecondCarspeed)\\\\RelativeSpeed=x-(-x-14mph)=2x+14mph$
