All the cars travel 30 miles in 1 hour. After 1 hour, twice the number of miles on Car A is 70 miles less than 3 times the number of miles on Car C. How many miles were there on Car B initially? Alexa assumes there are m miles on Car B. Zack assumes there are m miles on Car C. Will Zack's answer be the same as Alexa's answer? Zack's answer will (select) the same as Alexa's answer.​

Answer:

The correct answer here is that there were originally 60 miles on car B. We can work this out with the following equation -

A = B - 50B = C + 30A + 50 = BB+ 50 = C + 802A = 3C - 70

Solution: A = 110, B = 60, C = 30
