Question 556005: two cars leave town traveling in the opposite direction. one car is travels at 80 km/h and the other at 96 km/h. in how many hours will they be 528 km apart? Answer by TutorDelphia(193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They are getting further apart at the rate of 80 times time (in hours) plus 96 times time (in hours) which gives:
80t+96t=528
combine like terms
176t=528
divide both sides by 176
t=3
Three hours
