Too many examples like this have been answered. Same form over and over.

-----------------
Person1 is L miles away from Person2. They are traveling towards each other. If Person2 travels k mph faster than Person1 and they meet after t hours, how fast was each traveling?
-----------------

Let r be the speed of Person1.
Then r+k is speed of Person2.

Speeds are to be added, since the persons are moving directly toward each other.

------or whatever form you want from this.

You can choose to use the given values whenever you want to. You do not need feel forced to follow this symbolized formula.
