Putting it in the middle sorry if it isnt right i never was really good at these but i tried.
Okay first make sure you change negative 8 to a positive 8.
Set the problem up 8 -11 -49 899 -2506

Your answer will be
-11x^3 - 137x^2 - 197x - 4082
The speed of one car is 'S'. The speed of the other car is (S + 10).
In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels 5(S + 10) miles.
Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.
500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)
500 = 5S + 5S + 50
500 = 10S + 50
Subtract 50 from each side:
450 = 10S
Divide each side by 10
S = <u>45</u>
S + 10 = <u>55</u>
It would be 2/4. 2/4 simplifies to 1/2.
