Let A represent the speed of car A. Using your formula,
.. A*2 = D
.. (A +15)*1.5 = D . . . . . the same distance in a shorter time at a higher speed
Equating the two expressions for D, we get
.. 2A = 1.5(A +15)
.. 2A = 1.5A +22.5 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. 0.5A = 22.5 . . . . . . . . .subtract 1.5A
.. A = 22.5/0.5 = 45 . . . .divide by 0.5
Car B was 15 mph faster than this.
Car B traveled at 60 miles per hour.

Answer:
Both the zoo-keepers are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first zoo keeper uses the equation:
x - 41.5 = 13.5
⇒ x = 13.5 + 14. 5 = 55
Now, the second zoo- keeper uses the equation:
41.5 + 13.5 = x
⇒ x = 55
Both use x = 55.
