AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the speeds of two cars starting from points A and B, which are 90 km apart. We'll denote the speed of the car starting from A as \( V_A \) and the speed of the car starting from B as \( V_B \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information. 1. **Same Direction**: When both cars travel in the same direction, they meet after 9 hours. - The distance covered by both cars when they meet is 90 km. - The relative speed when they are moving in the same direction is \( V_A - V_B \). - Using the formula: ...
