Answer: 44m/s

Explanation:

Speed of Car A travelling left = 22m/s

Speed of Car B travelling right = 22m/s

Now recall that relative speed of objects moving in opposite directions is equal to the sum of each speed

Hence, Relative speed = (Speed of Car A + Speed of Car B)

= (22m/s + 22m/s)

= 44m/s
