Systems of Linear Equations: Two Variables · Exercise 72
Use a system of linear equations with two variables and two equations to solve.
A jeep and a pickup truck enter a highway running east-west at the same exit heading in opposite directions. The jeep entered the highway 30 minutes before the pickup did, and traveled 7 mph slower than the pickup. After 2 hours from the time the pickup entered the highway, the cars were 306.5 miles apart. Find the speed of each car, assuming they were driven on cruise control and retained the same speed.
