Answer:
speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.
Also let car A travels x miles.
and car B travels y miles.
Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes.
this means that speed of car A is given by: miles/minutes ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).
Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.
This means that the speed of car B is given by: miles/minutes
as speed of both cars are equal this means:
------(1)
Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.
this means
------(2)
on using equation (1) and (2) we have:
Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)
Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
I believe there is an error in the question
we have two equations and need to find x and y
let s multiply by 8 so that we can get rid of the fractions
(1) becomes 2x+4y=5
(2) becomse 6x-4y=9
if we sum it gives
2x+4y+6x-4y=9+5
8x=14
x = 14/8 = 7/4
and then from the first equation
4y = 5 - 7/4
<=> 16y = 20-7 = 13
y = 13/16
the solutions is (7/4,13/16)
