Ching leaves San Francisco and travels toward Los Angeles at 50 mi/h. An hour later, Phil leaves Los Angeles and travels toward San Francisco at 60 mi/h. If the two cities are 380 miles apart, how many hours will it take for Ching to meet Phil?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ching DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt= 50x miles
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Phil DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 60 mph ; time = x-1 hrs ; distance = rt = 60(x-1)=60x-60 miles
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "distance + distance = 380 miles
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 60x-60 = 380
\n" ); document.write( "110x=440
\n" ); document.write( "x=4 hrs (hours need for Ching to meet Phil)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
