Point A and B are 90 km apart from each ...

Point A and B are 90 km apart from each other on a highway. A car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If they go in the same direction they meet in 9 hours and if they go in opposite directions they meet in 9/7 hours. Find their speeds.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will first define the variables and then set up the equations based on the information given. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - \( x \) = speed of the car starting from point A (in km/h) - \( y \) = speed of the car starting from point B (in km/h) ### Step 2: Set up the equations for the same direction ...
