Question

Mr. Stack and Coach Pugh are racing down the highway. Coach Pugh is going five miles more an hour than twice Mr. Stack's speed. If Coach Pugh is going one hundred and five miles and hour, how fast is Mr. Stack going?

Answer 1

50

2(Mr stack's speed) = Coach Pugh's speed - 5mph

Mr stack's speed = (105mph - 5mph)/2

Mr stack's speed = 100mph/2

Mr stack's speed = 50mph
