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.

Tom [10]
2.6 • 10^10 = 26,000,000,000
4.94 • 10^13 = 49,400,000,000,000

49,400,000,000,000/26,000,000,000= 1900

And adult had 1900 times more cells than a newborn. Or if you want to put it in scientific notation it would be 1.9 • 10^3
