Limits & ContinuityFide solution
A jeep and BMW enter a highway running east-west at the same exit heading in opposite directions. The jeep entered the highway 30
minutes before the BMW did, and traveled 7 mph slower than the BMW. After 2 hours from the time the BMW entered the highway, the
cars were 306.5 miles apart. Find the speed of each car, assuming they were driven on cruise control. Let\(\;x\;\)represent the speed of the
jeep and\(\y\;\)represent the speed of the BMW. Give your answer as an ordered pair, (\(x, y\)).
