Answer 6

i got it...gimme a sec

Answer 7

He didn't used the total time in his solution.

Answer 8

what formula did u come up with?

Answer 9

\[d_1=5r\]\[d_2=5(r+5)\implies d_2=5r+25\]\[d_1+d_2=575\] \[5r+5r+25=575\]\[10r=550\]\[r=55\]
\[d_1=55mph\]\[d_2=60mph\]

Answer 10

@justinsmom better?

Answer 11

ok thats one of the options... hope he can figure other two out with info i got earlier... thanks again

k

Answer 13

I don't get it @yummydum , explain.

Answer 14

kyun bhai??

Answer 15

5r+25?

Answer 16

\[5(r+5)\implies 5r+25\]

Answer 17

since the second car is traveling 5mph faster than the first

Answer 18

why multiply it by 5?

Answer 19

because that is the value of t(time)....t=5hrs

Answer 20

So?

Answer 21

the formula is
d=rt
d=r5

Answer 22

that is for the first car and the second car is 5 plus the rate so that makes it d=(r+5)5

Answer 23

how about?
\[Speed = \frac{distance}{time}\]\[r+r+5 = \frac{575}{5}\]

Answer 24

Ah, same thing. Mine's easier..

Answer 25

yea thats the same thing
2r+5=115
2r=110
r=55

Answer 26

Still, mine's easier.

Answer 27

yes..it is...khush?
