t = D/r, times the same before impact
\n" ); document.write( "x the Distance traveled by faster car
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%2F%28130mph+%29=+%28400-x%29%2F%28120mph%29\" | Cross Multiplying to solve
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 130•400 - 130x
\n" ); document.write( "250x = 130•400
\n" ); document.write( "x = 130•400/250 = 208mi
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"208mi%2F%28130mph%29\" = 1.6 hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
