A truck traveling 45 miles per hour and a train traveling 60 miles per hour cover the same distance. The truck travels 2 hours longer than the train. How many hours does each travel?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Truck DATA\"
\n" ); document.write( "rate 45 mph ; time = x+2 hrs ; distance = 45(x+2) miles
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs; distance = 60x miles
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "45(x+2) = 60x
\n" ); document.write( "45x + 90 = 60x
\n" ); document.write( "15x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 hrs (Train travel time)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 8 hrs (Truck travel time)
