NEED HELP QUICK !!!!!

PICTURE THIS: ENA AND JANA LIVE 385 MILES APART AND WOULD LIKE TO MEET SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THEIR HOUSES. IF ENA DRIVES AT 60 MPH AND JANA DRIVES AT 50 MPH, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO MEET?

Answer 1

velocity = distance/time

distance = 385
let distance ena travels = a
let distance jana travels = b
a+b=385 ---- (1)

60=a/time --> a=60*time
50=b/time --> b=time*50

sub into (1)
60*time+50*time=385

let time = t....

60t+50t = 385
110t = 385
t=385/110

Answer 2

That wasnt well set out, if you need an explanation for a part, tell me

Answer 3

on the part where u multiplied rate and time and added it to distance....why did u add it to the distance instead of subtracting? how do u noe if yu add or subtract on tht part?
