    Find the speed of each car.

    Let a be the first car

    Let b be the second car

    => a = x miles per hour

    => b = x + 12 miles per hour

    => 2 (x + x + 12) = 232 miles per hour

    => 2x + 12 = 232

    => 2x + 12 = 116

    => 2x = 116 - 12

    => 2x / 2 = 104 / 2

    => x = 52 (speed of Car A)

    => 52 + 12 = 64 miles per hour (speed of Car B)
