Let the slower cars speed equal X.
The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).
They traveled for 3 hours
Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.
So you have:
3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles
Simplify the left side:
3X + 3X+15 = 267
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 267
Subtract 15 from each side"
6x = 252
Divide each side by 6:
x = 252 / 6
X = 42
The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

1 yard = 3 feet:
3.25 yards x 3 feet per yard = 9.75 feet.
1 foot = 12 inches:
9.75 feet x 12 inches per foot = 117 inches.
The answer is x=7 hope this helps:)
