Question 896279
S.F. and Santa Barbara are 690 miles apart. Jaclyn leaves Santa Barbara at the same time that Hannah leaves S.F., both driving towards each other. Hannah travels at a rate that is 10 mph. faster than Jaclyn. If they meet after 5 hours, how fast is each girl driving? (Directions for problem: Set up as an equation, don't solve it!)
***
let x=Jacyln's rate of speed
x+10=Hannah's rate of speed
distance=rate*speed
5x+5(x+10)=690
