Truck I x km/h
\n" ); document.write( "Truck II x+ 15
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "They are moving towards each other They are moving towards each other
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "So add up their speed.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "combined speed = x+ 1 x + 15
\n" ); document.write( "( 2 x + 15 )
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 8 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 1000 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "( 2 x 15 )* 8 = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "16 x + 120 = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "16 x = 1000 + -120
\n" ); document.write( "16 x = 880
\n" ); document.write( "/ 16
\n" ); document.write( "x= 55 mph Truck I
\n" ); document.write( "Truck II 55 + 15 = 70 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
