Two cars left the city for a suburb, 120 km away, at the same time. The speed of one of the cars was 20 km/hour greater than the

speed of the other, and that is why it arrived at the suburb 1 hour before the other car. Find the speeds of both cars.

Answer:

V1 = 60 km/h

V2 = 40 Km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is defined as

Speed =  distance / time

Let

V1 be the speed of the faster car

V2 be the speed of the other car

t1 the time it took for the first car to arrive

t2 the time it took for the second car to arrive

d1 the distance traveled by first car

d2 the distance traveled by second car

We know thanks to the problem that

V1 = V2 + 20 Km/h

t1 = t2 - 1 hour

d1 = d2 = 120 Km

d1 = V1 * t1

d2 = V2* t2

V1 * t1 = V2* t2

V1* t1 = (V1 -20)*(t1 +1)

The system of equations

(V1 -20)*(t1 +1) = 120

V1 * t1 = 120

120 + (120/t1) -20*t1 = 140

(120/t1) -20*t1  = 20

Which gives,

t1 = 2

This means

V1 = 60 km/h

V2 = V1 - 20 Km/h =  40 Km/h

Solve the inequality for V.<br><br> -8.3 _&gt;_ V - 1.9
Arada [10]
First keep in mind that the given value is negative and that it is greater than or equal to whatever '<em>v</em>' is.

-8.3  \geq v - 1.9

When solving for a variable in any equation, you do something to both sides in order to keep it equal. Here, <em>v</em> is being subtracted by 1.9; therefore we can add 1.9 to both sides in order to isolate <em />the variable.

-8.3 + 1.9  \geq v - 1.9 + 1.9
-6.4 \geq v

Despite not needing a value for the question, it is worth noting that since this is an inequality, <em>v </em>can be any value from -6.4 to ∞ in order to make it true.
