The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5
They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
Solve for x.
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5
Subtract 4.5x on both sides
-0.5x = -22.5
Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45
But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5
So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40
Your answer is 40
-√5/2+√5+1
-√5/2+2√5/2+1
√5/2+1
(√5+2)/2
The answer is 2 ( choose 2 )
and how we find this answer? the picture is clearly for that.
