Cars Meeting Speed Difference

The distance between cities A and B is 125 km. Two cars start from these places at the same time. The difference in their speed was 3 km/h. They met in an hour. What was the speed of each car?

Final Answer:

v1 =  64 km/h
v2 =  61 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

t=1 h s=125 km  s1+s2=s  v1 t+v2 t=s v1 = 3+v2  (3+v2) t+v2 t=s (3+v2) 1+v2 1=125  2v2=122  v2=2122=61  v2=61  v1=3+v2=3+61=64 km/h
