Answer:

speed of motorcycle = 40 mph

speed of car = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

Speed = distance / time

This question would be solved using simultaneous equation

let m =  average speed of the motorcycle

c = average speed of the car

c = 2m - 30  equation 1

20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2

insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2

10 = (2m - 30) - m

solve for m

m = 40 mph

substitute for m in equation 1

2(40) - 20 = 50 mph

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-4=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=4

Answer:

<h2>35 × (3 + m)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property:

<em>a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c</em>

105 = 35 × 3

35m = 35 × m

105 + 35m = 35 × 3 + 35 × m = 35 × (3 + m)
