We will have the following:

*We determine by replacing the values stated in the following arrangement:


t\cdot(r_1+r_2)=170

That is:

*First set:


(2h)(35mi/h+40mi/h)=150mi

So, the first set is not.

*Second set:


(2h)(45mi/h+40mi/h)=170mi

So, the rates were either Nicole was moving at 45 mi/h while Kim was moving at 40 mi/h. [Third option]
