Two cars are traveling down the highway with the same speed. If the first car traveled at a speed 10 kilometers per hour more than now, and the other car traveled at a speed 10 kilometers per hour less than now, then the first car would cover the same distance in two hours as the second car in three hours. What is the speed of the cars?

This might be wrong but I think this how you go about it...

F2 = 10 F= 5 miles per hour more

S3 = -10 S = -3.3 miles per hours less
