Answer:

The rate of the second car is 30 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The Given formula is:

4(r + 15) + 4r = 300, where r is the rate for the second car

Let us solve the equation to find r

→ Multiply 4 by (r + 15) first

∵ 4(r + 15) = 4(r) + 4(15) = 4r + 60

→ Substitute it in the equation above

∴ 4r + 60 + 4r = 300

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (4r + 4r) + 60 = 300

∴ 8r + 60 = 300

→ Subtract 60 from both sides

∴ 8r + 60 - 60 = 300 - 60

∴ 8r = 240

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ \frac{8r}{8}=\frac{240}{8}

∴ r = 30

∴ The rate of the second car is 30 miles/hour
