Car I speed= 65 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Car II speed= 70 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Time difference between the starting of the two= 0.50 hours
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken by Car I = X / 65
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken by Car II = X / 70
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "X / 65 - X / 70 = 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "LCD - 90
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 90 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1.38 x - 1.29 x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "0.1 x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "/ 0.1
\n" ); document.write( "x= 455 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Car II speed= 70 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 455 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken = 455 / 70
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken = 6.5 hour to catch up
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
