If the track has circumference c miles, then and the car's speeds are x and y mi/s, then since time = distance/speed, 

<span>In the same direction, the slow car has a "lead" of 1 mile which the faster car has to make up. </span>

<span>1/(y-x) = 120 </span>
<span>1/(x+y) = 30 </span>

<span>120(y-x) = 30(x+y) </span>
<span>120y-120x = 30x+30y </span>
<span>90y = 150x </span>
<span>y = 5/3 x </span>


<span>1/(x + 5/3 x) = 30 </span>
<span>8/3 x * 30 = 1 </span>
<span>80x = 1 </span>
<span>x = 1/80 mi/sec = 45 mph </span>
<span>y = 75 mph</span>
