Courtney travels at 17mph and Mikayla at 10mph
1) In this question, we need to set equations for that.
Courtney Mikayla
v +7 v speed
2) Note that we have to use this relation:
[tex]Speed\, {\times time=distance}[/tex]So, we can write out the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} v6+(v+7)6=162 \\ v6+6v+42=162 \\ 12v+42-42=162-42 \\ 12v=120 \\ v=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]So we can now plug into Mikayla's speed and Courtney
Mikayla travels at 17mph and Courtney at 10mph
