The 1st car gets a head start of \"+1+\" hr
\n" ); document.write( "In \"+1+\" hr, it travels \"+60%2A1+=+60+\" km
\n" ); document.write( "Count time when the 2nd car leaves.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time in hours until they meet
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = distance 2nd car travels until they meet
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for 2nd car:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+80t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for 1st car:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+-+60+=+60t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "By substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+80t+-+60+=+60t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20t+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+80t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+80%2A3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+240+\"
\n" ); document.write( "When both cars have traveled 240 km,
\n" ); document.write( "they will meet
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
