Motion question that sounds too simple?

Homework Statement

A car accelerates steadily from 0 ms^-1 to 20 ms^-1 in a distance d and time t. Another car takes a time 2t to accelerate steadily from stationary to the same final velocity. What distance does the car travel during the new acceleration?

Homework Equations

So Speed x Time = Distance
And then there are the non-linear acceleration ones but I'm not sure if they are needed

The Attempt at a Solution

Okay so intuitively I think that because it's taken double the time it has traveled double the distance, because if the time is 2t then to get the same speed we need 2d, but I don't think the question says that both cars travel at constant acceleration (i.e the same) so it could be that one accelerates at a greater rate than the other or something? What do you think of the wording?

The key to the problem is "steadily", meaning a constant acceleration. If two objects accelerate to the same velocity, but one takes twice the time, they will have different (but still constant) accelerations. Consider from rest, with no initial velocity, a object travels a distance d = \frac{at^2}{2}. What does the situation tell you about how 'a' and 't' change going from one situation to the next?
