Ashley travels 40 mph and her sister Brittany leaves 2 hours later traveling at 50mph. Both arrive at their grandparents house at the same time. What is the distance from Analyse house to her grandparents house.
----------------------------
Ashley DATA:
rate = 40 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 40x miles
--------------------
Brittany DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x-2 hrs ; distance = 50x - 100 miles
--------
Equation:
40x = 50x -100
-10x = -100
x = 10 hrs
====
Distance = 40x = 400 miles
---------------------------
