in order to show you how to do the d=rt I need the whole problem what online school are you doing

Im doing FLVS. and the problem is: a car and a bus leave at exactly the same time, but in opposite directions...if the bus is going 55mph and the car is going 65mph..how long will it take for the two to be exactly 180 miles apart?

anonymous · Answer

it is telling you to use d=rt

In that case, you can let $f(t)=55t$ model the distance covered by the bus and $g(t)=65t$ model the distance covered by the car. Then you're seeking to solve $f(t)+g(t)=180\Longrightarrow t=1.5$. In other words, in one hour and thirty minutes, the vehicles will be $180$ miles apart.

There was no need for strange formulas here. :P
