Answer:

5091 Km/hr and 505 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Let the speed of first automobile be 'x' and that of the second be 'y'

Since speed of one is 10 times greater than the other. therefore;

⇒ x = 10 y

also let time for faster automobile be 'T' and time for slower auto mobile be 't'

Since first arrive one hour earlier than second, therefore;

⇒ t = T + 1

⇒ For first automobile; x X T = 560 ; substituting for 'x' and 'T'. Therefore;

⇒ 10y (t+1) = 560

⇒ For Second automobile; y X t = 560

⇒ y = \frac{560}{t}

⇒ 10(\frac{560}{t})(t + 1) = 560

⇒ 5600 + \frac{5600}{t} = 560

⇒ 5600 - 560 =  -  \frac{5600}{t}

⇒ t = 1.11 hr

also ; T = 1.11 - 1 = 0.11 hr

Speed of 1st auto  = 560/0.11 = 5091 km /hr

Speed of 2nd auto = 560/1.11 = 505 km/hr

-1/3(px-2) = 9

ok! so first we want to isolate x.

multiply both sides by -3/1 (this is the reciprocal of -1/3)

(px-2) = -27

px = -27 + 2

px = -25

x = -25/p

hope this helped!
