Answer:
$300
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that L is the amount of money Luisa had in the beginning, and C is the amount of money Connor had in the beginning.
C + L = 360
C - 2/5 C = L + 2/5 C
Simplifying the second equation:
3/5 C = L + 2/5 C
1/5 C = L
Substituting into the first equation:
C + 1/5 C = 360
6/5 C = 360
C = 300
Connor originally had $300, and Luisa $60. Connor gave Luisa $120, and they both had $180.
It will take the first car 5.5 hours to catch up to the second car.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of second car = 55 miles per hour
As the car has started one hour before; it has already traveled
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 55*1 = 55 miles
Let,
x be the number of hours.
Distance covered in x hours = 55x
S(x) = 55x+55
Speed of first car = 65 miles per hour
Distance covered in x hours = 65x
F(x) = 65x
For catching up;
F(x) = S(x)

Dividing both sides by 10

It will take the first car 5.5 hours to catch up to the second car.
