From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify
Step 2: Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
5x = 5x/1 = 5x * 5/5
<em>Equivalent fraction</em> : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
<em>Common denominator </em>: The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
dding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
5x • 5 - (4) 25x - 4
-------------- = ---------
5 5
Step 3: Simplify 25/4
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
29 = 29/1 = 29 * 4/4
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
Adding up the two equivalent fractions
5 • (25x-4) + 29 • 4 125x + 96
--------------------------- = -----------
4 4
Final result :
125x + 96
