Question 722700:
Two truckers 560 km apart begin driving toward each other at the same time and they meet in 2.5 hours. The first truck travels at an average speed of 120km/h. What is the speed of the second truck? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT
560=(120+X)2.5
560=300+.5+2.5X
2.5X=560-300
2.5X=260
X=260/2.5
X=104 KMH. SPEED OF THE SECOND TRUCK.
PROOF:
560=(120+104)2.5
560=224*2.5
560=560
