Two persons travel on an East-West highway to two cities in the opposite directions. The distance between the two cities is 1080 miles. Person A going West travels at 65mph. Person B going East travels at 70mph. At which point (mile) does B meet A?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "A going West DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 65 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 65t miles
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "B going East DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 70 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 70t miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dist + dist = 1080 miles
\n" ); document.write( "65t + 70t = 1080
\n" ); document.write( "135t = 1080
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "B meets A 70t = 70*8 = 560 miles East of B.
