The formula d=52t+65t
can be used to find the distance, d
, between two cars after traveling t
hours in opposite directions. After how many hours will the distance between the two cars be 234 miles?
We can set up an equation using the given formula and the distance we want to find:
234 = 52t + 65t
Combining like terms:
234 = 117t
Dividing both sides by 117:
t = 2
Therefore, after 2 hours, the distance between the two cars will be 234 miles.
