Think of one car as standing still and the other
\n" ); document.write( "one approaching at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+t+\"$ = the time in hours for them to meet.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+315+=+%28+50+%2B+55+%29%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+315+=+105t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+315%2F105+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "They will meet in 3 hrs
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
