I guess it should be A. As others are right about B, Q has an average speed of 55 for the entire trip. It is possible for Q to have travelled at more than 55 before meeting A and to have travelled at 30 or 40 after they meet. Or it could be the vice versa. Hence, insufficient. sorry for sounding co...

Loos...

Absolute value is always positive or zero. (1) |x + 3| = 4x -3 We see absolute value on the left. Thus, the left hand side must be positive or zero. Because the left hand side must equal the right hand side, this means that the right hand side is also positive or zero. Thus, 4x-3>= 0, and x >=3/4. ...
