Question 556005: two cars leave town traveling in the opposite direction. one car is travels at 80 km/h and the other at 96 km/h. in how many hours will they be 528 km apart?

They are getting further apart at the rate of 80 times time (in hours) plus 96 times time (in hours) which gives:
80t+96t=528
combine like terms
176t=528
divide both sides by 176
t=3
Three hours
