D. After 18 seconds , the cal will both be traveling at 70 mph

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. After 20 seconds car A will be traveling at 65mph. This is because the speed is increasing 0.2 per second so 0.2 times 20 would equal 4. 61+4=65 Car B will be travelling at 65mph too because it is decreasing 0.5 per second and 0.5 times 20 would equal 10 and 75mph - 10mph would equal 65mph. The answer is A
