A truck can travel 150 miles in the same time that it takes a car to travel 175 miles if the trucks rate is 5 mph slower than the cars find the average rate for each

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]30, 35\ mph[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Truck can travel 150 miles while car can travel 175 miles in same time

If the speed of truck is 5 mph slower than the car

Suppose the speed of car is [tex]x\ mph[/tex], speed of truck would be [tex]x-5[/tex]

For same time

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{150}{x-5}=\dfrac{175}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow 6x=7(x-5)\\\Rightarrow 6x=7x-35\\\Rightarrow x=35\ mph[/tex]

Speed of truck is [tex]x-5=30\ mph[/tex]

Speed of car [tex]x=35\ mph[/tex]
