Answer:
2/3 or .6 repeating
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Find
the speed of each car.
Let a be the first car
Let b be the second car
=> a = x miles per hour
=> b = x + 12 miles per hour
=> 2 (x+ x + 12) = 232 miles per hour
=> 2x + 12 = 232
=> 2x + 12 = 116
=> 2x = 116 - 12
=> 2x / 2 = 104 / 2
=> x = 52 (speed of Car A)
=> 52 + 12 = 64 miles per hour (speed of Car B)</span>
I think it is 57 I just subtracted the two numbers
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: infinite solutions
Discussion: I did a double take on this one but the left hand is
a + 3 + 2a = 3a +3
and the right hand side is
-1 + 3a + 4 = 3a + (4-1) = 3a + 3
The left and right sides of the equation are identical for all "a", i.e. for infinitely many "a" values.
