if two cars leave texas at the same time going in opposite directions one car is going 45 miles per hour and the other 55 miles per hour when will they be 400 miles apart
--------------
Assuming they leave the same place in Texas,
going in opposite directions their speeds are added.
45 + 55 = 100 mph
It'll take them 4 hours (4 hr * 100 mph = 400 miles)
--------------------
If one leaves Houston and the other leaves El Paso, they'll be 730 miles apart at the start.
