Question 823466: Please help me. I am hoping that I can be shown how to solve this equation: Two cities are 2460 miles apart. A plane leaves one of them, traveling towards the other at an average speed of 430 miles per hour. At the same time, a plane leaves the other traveling towards the first, at an average speed of 390 miles per hour. How long will it take them to meet?
Thank you so much for your time.
