Question # 6
Two cars that are 600km apart are moving towards each other. Their speeds differ by 6 km per hour and the cars are 123 km apart after4 hours. Find the speed of each car.
Solution
Let the speed of two cars be x kmh-1 and y kmh-1
(x + y) = 477
x + y = 477
x + y = 477
x + y = 106
Cramers Rule
xy=6 x + y = 106 Let A = = = 1 ( -1) =1+1 =2
