Question

The speed of a train is 35 miles per hour less than 2 times the speed of a car. If the speed of the train is 60 miles per hour, how fast is the car going? Leave the answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

95/2 mph

Explanation:

speed of train = 60 mph

speed of car = x

"The speed of a train is 35 miles per hour less than 2 times the speed of a car."

2x - 35 = 60

2x = 95

x = 95/2

Answer: 95/2 mph
