The problem doesn't change if you make one car stationary and
\n" ); document.write( "have the other one moving towards it at their combined speeds
\n" ); document.write( "It must cover the 300 miles between them to meet the other car
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+r%2At\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"300+=+%2836+%2B+24%29%2At\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"300+=+60t\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+5\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "They will meet at 6 pm
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
