Question

The difference in speeds of el toro and t express is 5 miles per hour. If el toro has the greater speed, write and solve a subtraction equation to find it’s speed

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is x = y + 5.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the difference in speeds of el toro and t express is 5 miles per hour and If el toro has the greater speed. We are to write and solve a subtraction equation to find it’s speed.

Let 'x miles per hour' be the speed of el toro and 'y miles per hour' be the speed of t express. Then, since el toro's speed is 5 miles per hour more that of t express, so

`x-y=5.`

Solving, we get

`x-y=5\\\\\Rightarrow x=y+5.`

Hence solved.
