-2x - 13 = -3x - 5
Step 1: Combine like terms
x's go with x's (-2x and -3x). To do this add 2x to both sides
(-2x + 2x) - 13 = (-3x + 2x) - 5
(0) - 13 = (-x) - 5
- 13 = -x - 5
normal numbers go with normal numbers ( -13 and -5). To do this add 5 to both sides
(- 13 + 5) = -x + (- 5 + 5)
-8 = -x + (0)
-8 = -x
Step 2: Isolate x by dividing -1 to both sides (this will take the negative sign away from the x)
8 = x
x= 8

Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour
The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.
