Two cars leave Denver at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One car travels 10 mi/h faster than the other car. The cars are 660 mi apart in 6 h. How fast is each car traveling?
2 answers:
Answer:
D. ) 50 mi/h and 60 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
50 mph and 60 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the two speeds by s and f (slower and faster). Then f = s + 10.
We find the distance traveled by each car separately, sum up the absolute values of these distances and set this sum equal to 660:
(s + s + 10)(6 hr) = 660 mi. Simplifying this, we get:
2s + 10 = 110, or
2s = 100.
Then s = 50 mph and f = (50 + 10) mph, or 50 and 60 mph (matches the last possible answer)

The angles diagonally opposite each other are congruent while those adjacent to each other add up to 180 degrees. You can get eight congruent angles with a transversal if the two lines are parallel, because each angle would be 90.
