1. Let x be the time for the truck to cover the distance
x-2 is for the car's time to cover the distance

480/x-2 = 480/x + 20 Find the LCD and multiply it to each term (LCD=x²-2x)
480x = 480x-960+20x²-40x Transpose the equation on the right side to the left side and combine like terms
-20x²+40x+960=0  Multiply the equation by -1 so that the quadratic term is positive
20x²-40x-960=0  Divide the x² coeffiecient by the equation
x²-2x-48=0  Factor
(x+6)(x-8)  Solve
x= 8 or -6

Substitute the positive value in the equation
x=8

480km/6hr= 80 km/h (Car)
480km/8hr= 60 km/h (Truck)

So the answer is letter B.
