Acar and truck are 540 miles apart. the two vehicles start driving toward each other at the same time. the car drives at a speed of 65 miles per hour, and the truck travels at a speed of 55 miles per hour. at which point will they both meet.

they would meet after 4.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point where they will both meet, they would have covered a total distance of 540 miles.

Let t represent the time it will take the car and the truck to meet.

Distance = speed × time

The car drives at a speed of 65 miles per hour. Distance covered by the car in t hours would be

65 × t = 65t

The truck travels at a speed of 55 miles per hour.

Distance covered by the truck in t hours would be

55 × t = 55t

Therefore,. 65t + 55t = 540

120t = 540

t = 540/120 = 4.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(x) = - 2
