Respuesta :

The speeds of the two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.

How to find the speed of an object?

If the object is going linearly, and at constant speed, then the speed of that object is given by the distance it traveled to the time it took to travel that distance.

If the object traveled D distance in T units time, then that object's speed is S = D/T

Two cars leave Chicago to go to a town in that suit up north.

One car is traveling 13 mph faster in it arrived in four hours the other car took five hours to get there.

Let the distance traveled by both cars is x.

Speed of the first car = x/5

Speed of the second car = x/4

So, the equation form will be

x/5 + 13 = x/4

(65 + x )/ 5 = x /4

4(65 +x ) = 5x

260  + 4x =5x

x = 260

Speed of the first car = x/5 = 52mph

Speed of the second car = 52 + 13 = 65 mph

The speeds of the two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.
