A car and a truck simultaneously leave two towns 364mi apart am head toward each other.
\n" ); document.write( "The car travels 70mph and the truck drives 10mph slower.
\n" ); document.write( " How long will it take the two to meet?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required for them to meet
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When they meet, the distance each has traveled will at add up to 364 mi
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "70t + 60t = 364
\n" ); document.write( "130t = 364
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"364%2F130\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2.8 hrs for them to meet
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find the distance each traveled
\n" ); document.write( "70*2.8 = 196 mi
\n" ); document.write( "60*2.8 = 168 mi
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "total: 364 mi \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
