Here are the answers i’m order from top to bottom 12x/5 , 12x+5, 12x-5
Change each into a mixed number and simplify the mixed number
To get the time taken for Jan and Jo to meet we proceed as follows;
Jan's speed=70 mph
Jo's speed =60 mph
distance between =1170
relative speed=70+60=130
time taken for them to meet will be:
time=(distance)/(relative speed)
=1170/130
=9 hours
the answer is 9 hours
