Question

The car travels 20 mph over the speed limit of v mph. How fast is the car traveling

Answer 1

v+20=speed

Answer 2

20v?

Answer 3

no because that would be 20 * v and you would be traveling 20 times the speed limit

Answer 4

So how would I find v?

Answer 5

if you only want to go 20 mph over at any given speed limit it is just addition. the speed limit must be given here. v is a variable

Answer 6

So it would just be 20

Answer 7

speed of driver = speed limit + 20

Answer 8

I'm so confused. They didn't give the speed off driver nor the speed limit

Answer 9

is this the entire problem? and do they expect a numerical answer?

Answer 10

Yes it is. Yes they expect a numerical answer... they didn't even give units

Answer 11

I'm pretty sure it is speedd=20+v

Answer 12

it cannot have a numerical answer with the given information

Answer 13

So it would just be an equation?

Answer 14

yep. and then if there are numbers given for v or the speed of the car you can solve it.

Answer 15

That is right. Thanks.

Answer 16

you're welcome
