A subway travels 60 mph from Glendale to Midtown. Another subway, traveling at 45 mph, takes 11 minutes longer for the same trip. how far apart are Glendale and Midtown.
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=distance between Glendale and Midtown
\n" ); document.write( "travel time=distance/speed
\n" ); document.write( "11 min=11/60 hr
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "travel time from Glendale to Midtown at 60 mph=x/60 (faster train takes less time)
\n" ); document.write( "travel time from Glendale to Midtown at 45 mph=x/45
\n" ); document.write( "difference in travel times=x/45-x/60=11 min=11/60 hr
\n" ); document.write( "x/45-x/60=11/60
\n" ); document.write( "LCD:60*45
\n" ); document.write( "60x-45x=45*11
\n" ); document.write( "15x=495
\n" ); document.write( "x=33
\n" ); document.write( "distance between Glendale and Midtown=33 miles
\n" ); document.write( "
