You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since they are moving apart, their speeds will add.
\n" ); document.write( "You can think of one of them standing still and the
\n" ); document.write( "other one moving at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "A.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = their distance apart after \"+2.5+\" hrs

\n" ); document.write( "B.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time in hrs for them to be \"+25+\" mi apart
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+=+%28+10+%2B+5+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+=+15t+\"
