Question 760971: Plane A is traveling 300mph, plane B leaves 35 minutes later and is traveling 400 mph. What's the formula to find the intersecting distance and time? Answer by josgarithmetic(39799) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plane B begins travel when Plane A had already been traveling for 35 minutes. The next quantity of time, t, is the amount of time that both planes were simultaneously traveling.
Plane B moves faster and at some time 35+t for A and t for B, their distances traveled are equal.

A______________________300__________________
B______________________400_____________t______________
The table shows the expressions for times and distance. Solve first for t using .
