Here's the question...
At noon, your family leaves Memphis traveling to Louisville at 40 mph. Your uncle leaves 2 hours later from Louisville to Memphis at 60 mph. He is taking the same route. The two cities are 380 miles apart. At what time do the cars meet?
My guess for the equation was for x=time for your family
40x + 60(x+2) = 380
where x = 2.6
does that mean they meet at around 4:30 pm?
