Question 720308: 2 private airplanes travel toward each other from cities that are 780km apart at speeds of 190km/h and 200km/h . they left at same time. In how many hours will they meet ?
my solution not sure if this is correct
let x = # of hours planes will meet
190x+200x=780km
390x=780
x=2 hours the planes will meet Thank you for checking this for me

D=RT
780=190T+200T
390T=780
T=780/390
T=2 HOURS THEY WILL MEET.
