Question 842035: Two cars leave towns
760
kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is
16
kilometers per hour less than the other's. If they meet in
4
hours, what is the rate of the slower car?
Do not do any rounding.

r = rate of slower car.
R*T=D for Rate, Time, Distance
________________speed____________time_____________distance
Fast____________r+16______________4_______________
Slow_____________r________________4________________
Total______________________________________________760
The equation to formulate should appear obvious.
