Question

Two trucks started toward each other at the same time from towns 500 km apart. One truck traveled at a rate of 65 km per hour while the other traveled at 60 km per hour. After how many hours did they meet? If x represents the number of hours, which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? 65x = 60x 65x - 60x = 500 65x + 60x = 500

Answer 1

Answer:

65x + 60x = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

65x + 60x = 500

add 65x and 60x

this will equal 125x

divide 500 by 125

this will give you x = 4

which gives you the answer that the trucks will meet in 4 hours

please mark as brainliest

hope this helps : )

Answer 2

They would meet after 4 hours, as 65 x 4 = 260. And 60 x 4 = 240. If you add these, they become a value of 500. This also answers the 2nd question ; 65x + 60x = 500.
