Problema Solution

One car leaves town traveling east at 50 km/h. A second car travels east from the same town 1 hour later going 60 km/h. How long will it take the second car to overtake the first car?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let cars meet in x hrs

50x = 60(x-1)

50x = 60x -60

-10x = -60

 x = 6

i.e. car will meet after 6hrs
