The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5
They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
Solve for x.
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5
Subtract 4.5x on both sides
-0.5x = -22.5
Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45
But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5
So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40
Your answer is 40
Answer: x=75
Explanation:
x+10+x+20=180
combine like terms
2x+30=180
subtract 30 from each side
2x=150
divide each side by 2
x=75

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+1.
Combine 7x and −2x to get 5x.
Subtract 6x on both sides.
Combine 5x and −6x to get −x.
Add 2 to both sides.
Add 14 and 2 to get 16.
Multiply both sides by −1.

I think you are correct actually.
She spent 10 minutes. 25% x 40 = 10.
