    Speed of car B = 25 miles/hr

    Speed of car A = 35 miles/hr

    Explanation:

    Two cars meet at a distance = 300 miles

    Let the speed of Car B = x miles/hr

    Speed of car A = x + 10 miles/hr

    Time when car passes, t = 5 hours

    Speed of the cars = ?

    So,

    Distance of car A + Distance of car B = 300 miles

    We know, distance = speed X time

    So,

    (x+10) 5 + 5x = 300

    5x + 50 + 5x = 300

    10x = 250

    x = 25 miles/hr

    Speed of car B = 25 miles/hr

    Speed of car A = 25 + 10 = 35 miles/hr

    Therefore,

    Speed of car B = 25 miles/hr

    Speed of car A = 35 miles/hr
