Answer:

Distance between them is 4,200 meters.

Explanation:

Consinder car A:

[tex]{ \bf{distance = speed \times time }}[/tex]

substitute:

[tex]distance = 20 \times (2 \times 60) \\ = 2400 \: m[/tex]

Consider car B:

[tex]distance = 15 \times (2 \times 60) \\ = 1800 \: m[/tex]

since these cars move in opposite directions, distance between them is their summation:

[tex]distance \: between = { \sum(distance \: of \: each \: car)} \\ = 2400 + 1800 \\ = 4200 \: m[/tex]
