Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

Anna [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3} m + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

\frac{2}{3} m = 12 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

2m = 36 ( divide both sides by 2 )

m = 18 → C

how does knowing where the halfway point is help you find which hundred thousand 138,202 is closest to? Explain
ExtremeBDS [4]
Knowing the halfway point (which is 5) helps you so you know wither or not the hundred thousands place goes high or stays the same.
So, for this problem 138,202 would round out to 100,000 because the 3 is below 5 so the hundred thousands place stays the same.
