if the cars speed is 20 miles faster then the truck, find the cars speed, and the trucks speed.
 
let speed of truck be x

Time traveled by truck and car is same

180/(x + 20) = 120 / x

180x = 120(x + 120)

180x = 120x + 2400

180x - 120x = 2400

60x = 2400

x = 40

Speed of truck is 40

Speed of car ios 40+20 = 60
