You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two buses are scheduled to arrive at the terminal at the same time.
One bus is south of the terminal, driving north at 37 miles per hour.
At the same time, another bus is north of the terminal and is driving south at 45 miles per hour.
They are currently 54 miles apart.
How long will it be before the buses arrive at the terminal?
