You can put this solution on YOUR website!
D=RT
D=R*4
D=(R+15)3
4R=3R+45
4R-3R=45
R=45 MPH IS THE RATE FOR THE 4 HOUR TRIP.
D=45*4=180 MILES IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ATLAS & BILLINGS.
D=(45+15)3
D=60*3
D=180 DITTO.

4x+1x=20,320
5x=20,320
x=20,320/5
x=4,064 sec. after they start they will meet.
1*4,064=4,064 feet is the meeting altitude.
Proof:
4*4064=16,256 feet below the peak.
16,256+4,064=20,320
20,320=20,320

.06x+.05(8,000-x)=468
.06x+400-.05x=468
.01x=468-400
.01x=68
x=68/.01
x=6,800 amount invested @ 6%.
8,000-6,800=1,200 amount invested @ 5%.
Proof:
.06*6,800+.05*1,200=468
408+60=468
468=468
