Question

How fast did Car A travel?

Answer 1

@Awolflover1

Answer 2

distance = rate*time
Let distance be D, speed of car A be "a" , car B be "b"
Car A:
---> D = 2.4a
Car B:
--- > D = 4b

By substitution you can say:
2.4a = 4b
We are given that a is 22 greater than b ----> a = b+22 or b = a - 22

By substitution:
2.4a = 4(a - 22)

Solve for a
