You can put this solution on YOUR website! Car A and B are in the same lane 170.2 feet away from each other. Car A is traveling at 52 mph and car B is traveling at 27 mph. How long until they collide?
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.
