Two buses leave Los Angeles at the same time traveling in opposite directions. one bus travel to 59 mph and the other at 60 mph. how soon will they be at 714 miles apart?

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 6 minutes they will be 714 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

d = vet

Bus 1: d = 59t

Bus 2: d = 60t

Add both equations

= 59t + 60t = 119t

distance bus 1+distance bus 2 = 714

714 = 119t

714/119 = t

t = 6

Bus 1 has traveled 6*59=354 miles in 6 minutes

Bus 2 has traveled 6*60= 360 miles in 6 minutes
