Use this correlation distance-time-speed to find the answer d = vt d stands for distance, v stands for speed/velocity, t stands for time
The sum of the distance must be 250 miles, so they could be 250 miles apart. The time must be the same for the two cars. distance 1 + distance 2 = 250 v₁t + v₂t = 250 70t + 55t = 250 125t = 250 t = 250/125 t = 2
