of all the weird asks i've ever received this has to be the most disgusting
#but in all seriousness the answer should be d.#okay heres how i got it#im bad at maths so i might be wrong#so the distance is equal right so what we can do is set up an equation of d= s . t#the first car goes for three more hours so thats D=40(t+3)#and the second car goes D=60t#so we can use simultaneous equations to get: 40t + 120 = 60t#solve for t and get 120 = 20t#t=6#=> d.#but also why did you send me this#i had to think#which is gross#also now im going to tag all of the maths community so they can laugh at how terribly i did this#math#mathematics#maths#mathblr#mathsblr#mathematicool#studyblr
