Two cars leave simultaneously from points A and B, the distance between which is 280 km. If the cars move to meet each other, they’ll meet in 2 hours. But if they move in the same direction, then the car going from point A will catch up with the car going from point B in 14 hours. What is the speed of each of the cars?

Car A speed = 80 m/s

Car B speed = 60 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Speed of Car A be represented as x

Let Speed of Car B be represented as y

Let z represent the distance that Car A travels until it catches up to Car B

Since it takes 14 hours for Car B to cover the distance z,

Solving Equation 1 and Equation 2, we get:

Car A speed = 80 km/h

Car B speed = 60 km/h
