Two cars leave towns 400 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 14 kilometers per hour less than the other's. If they

meet in 2 hours, what is the rate of the slower car?
Do not do any rounding.

Answer:

Explanation:

v*2+(v-14)*2=400

2v+2v-28=400

4v=400+28

4v=428

v=107 km/h

speed of slowest car=107-14=93 km/h
