Steve and carol live 405 miles apart, they start at the same time and travel toward each other, Steve speed is 6mph greater than
1 answer:
Answer:
Speed of Carol is 78 mph and that of Steve is 84 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of Carol is x mph and that of Steve is (x + 6) mph.
If they move towards each other with that speed, then the resultant speed will be (x + x + 6) = (2x + 6) mph
With this resultant speed, they cover 405 miles in 2.5 hours.
So,
⇒ 2x = 156
⇒ x = 78 mph
So, speed of Carol is 78 mph and that of Steve is (78 + 6) = 84 mph. (Answer)
