Gaining speed 80 -60= 20 kph
\n" ); document.write( "Headstart 60*0.5 =30 km.
\n" ); document.write( "Time to catch up 30/20=1.5 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Algebraic solution
\n" ); document.write( "60(t+0.5)=80t
\n" ); document.write( "60t+30.0=80t
\n" ); document.write( "30.0=80t-60t
\n" ); document.write( "30.0=20t
\n" ); document.write( "1.5=t
\n" ); document.write( "Distance to meeting 1.5*80=120 km.\r
