You can put this solution on YOUR website! I will set it up and you finish.
Let x = the time it will take for the cars to collide.
The cars are 170.2 feet from each other.
This means they are the same distance apart.
Distance 1 + Distance 2 = 170.2 feet
27x + 52x = 170.2 feet
Solve for x and your done.
