Paul and charlene are 420 miles apart. they start toward each other with paul driving 16 mph faster than charlene. they meet in 5 hours. find charlene's speed.

34 mph.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be speed of Charlene, then speed of Paul will be x+16 as we are given that Paul is driving 16 mph faster than Charlene.

Let y be distance covered by Charlene, then distance covered by Paul will be 420-y.  

Now we will use formula . Upon using our given information we will get two equation and two unknowns as:  

Upon substituting in 1st equation we will get,

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 5 we will get,

Upon substituting y=170 in 2nd equation we will get,

Therefore, Charlene's speed is 34 miles per hour.

the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. hope this ! mark brainliest! you v much! : )
