You can think of one of them ( either one )
\n" ); document.write( "as standing still and the other approaching
\n" ); document.write( "at the sum of their speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = elapsed time in hrs until they meet
\n" ); document.write( "\"+19+=+%28+5+%2B+8+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+19+=+13t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+19%2F13+\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
