Speed of motorcycle = x

speed of car = X +10

travel time = distance / speed

car travel time = 237 /(x+10)

motorcycle travel time = 207/x

set them to equal each other:

237/x+10 = 207/x

cross multiply:

237x = 207(x+10)

distribute the right side:

237x = 207x + 2070

subtract 207x from both sides:

30x = 2070

divide both sides by 30:

x = 2070 / 30
x = 69

speed of motorcycle was 69 miles per hour
speed of car was 69 +10 = 79 miles per hour
