Question

A car​ averages 2 miles per hour faster than a trolley. If the car travels 190 miles in the same time it takes the trolley​ to travel 180 miles, then what is the speed of each?

Answer 1

S = speed

180/s = 190 /s+2

180(s+2) = 190s

180s +360 = 190s

360 = 10s

s = 360/10 = 36

Trolley is 36 miles per hour

Car = 38 miles per hour

check: trolley: 180/36 = 5 hours, car: 19/38 = 5 hours
