The car is going at a speed of 50 mph and the motorcycle is going at a speed of 40 mph.
40*2=80
80-30=50
50-40=10
10*2 hours= 20

Answer:

Motorcycle  : 40 miles per hour

Car: 50 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to write a system of equations.

<em>The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. </em>

  • C = 2 M -30 (first equation)

Where

C = speed rate of the car

M = speed rate of the motorcycle

since distance = speed x time

<em>In two hours(time), the car is 20 miles(distance) ahead of the motorcycle.  </em>

Since the car is ahead of the motorcycle , the speed is the difference of both.(C-M)

  • 20 = (C-M) 2 (second equation)

Replacing the value of C by 2 M -30  , in the second equation:

20 = [(2M-30)-M ]2

20 = [M-30]2

20 = 2M-30(2)

20= 2M -60

20+60 =2M

80 = 2M

80/2 =M

M =40 km per hour

Replacing M in the first equation:

C = 2 (40)-30 = 80-30

C = 50 km per hour
