Answer:
The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.
Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took :
. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.
Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:

Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:

Now we solve for
in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:

So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
Answer:
what is the question be more specific
No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.
Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.
Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.
