Let 1st number be = x
Thus second number = x - 4

Now

(x) + (x - 4) = 72
2x - 4 = 72
2x = 76
x = 38

1st number is 38 thus 2nd number is (38 - 4) = 34

grandymaker [24]

Answer: 33 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that the speed reduces by 22 mph inside the city.

The speed inside the city is therefore:

= 55 - 22

= 33 mph
