Question 192906: Al goes 8 mph; Ben goes 22 mph in the opposite direction. How many hours has Ben traveled when they are 180 miles apart?
If x is the time that Al travels, then which of the following is the time Ben travels? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8x+22x=180
30x=180
x=180/30

8*6+132=180
48+132=180
180=180
