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 6 mph slower than the BMW. After 4 hours from the time the BMW entered the highway, the cars were 568 miles apart. Find the speed of each car, assuming they were driven on cruise control.

4B + 4.5(B-6) = 568 (time times speed = distance)
8.5B =568+27= 595
B = 595/8.5 = 70 mph for BMW
J=70-6= 64 mph for the Jeep
