In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance and they can be used to find the necessary answers. It is already given that John and Andrew have 3.40 pound together. It is also given that John has 1.20 pound more than Andrew. It is also assumed that John has"u" pound and Andrew has "v" pounds.
Then we can write the two equations as
u + v = 3.40
u = v + 1.20
To find the values of u and v, we can replace the u in the first equation with the value of u in the second equation. Then
u + v = 3.40
(v + 1.20) + v = 3.40
2v + 1.20 = 3.40
2v = 3.40 - 1.20
2v = 2.2
v = 2.2/2
= 1.1
Now we replace the value of v in the first equation to find the value of u.
u + v = 3.40
u + 1.1 = 3.40
u = 3.40 - 1.1
u = 2.3

Answer:
speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.
Also let car A travels x miles.
and car B travels y miles.
Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes.
this means that speed of car A is given by:
miles/minutes ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).
Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.
This means that the speed of car B is given by:
miles/minutes
as speed of both cars are equal this means:
------(1)
Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.
this means 
------(2)
on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)
Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
