Question 1199839
Too many examples like this have been answered.  Same form over and over.


-----------------
Person1 is L miles away from Person2. They are traveling towards each other. If Person2 travels k mph faster than Person1 and they meet after t hours, how fast was each traveling?
-----------------


Let r be the speed of Person1.
Then r+k is speed of Person2.


Speeds are to be added, since the persons are moving directly toward each other.


{{{(r+(r+k))*t=L}}}
-
{{{2r+k=L/t}}}

{{{2r=L/t-k}}}

{{{r=((L/t)-k)/2}}}

{{{r=L/(2t)-k/2}}}------or whatever form you want from this.


You can choose to use the given values whenever you want to.  You do not need feel forced to follow this symbolized formula.
