From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.

Explanation : If 66 is a factor of this unknown value, then 22 must be as well considering that 22 is a factor off 66. Let's say that this large value is 330. It is a multiple of 66, as 66 5 = 330. At the same time 22
15 = 330, so 330 is a multiple of 22 as well - or vice versa, 12 is a factor of 330.
We can also tell that 15, 22 fit into 330 through another approach. 22 3 = 66, and 66
5 = 330, so 5
3 = 15 - the same value. This proves that 22 will always be a factor of a value that is the factor of 66.
now, if we just knew what g(2) is, we'd be golden, however, we dunno
BUT, recall, g(x) is the inverse of f(x), meaning, all domain for f(x) is really the range of g(x) and, the range for f(x), is the domain for g(x)
for inverse expressions, the domain and range is the same as the original, just switched over
so, g(2) = some range value
that means if we use that value in f(x), f( some range value) = 2
so... in short, instead of getting the range from g(2), let's get the domain of f(x) IF the range is 2
thus 2 = 2x+sin(x)
hmmm I was looking for some constant value... but hmm, not sure there is one, so I think that'd be it
