Christian and Tanae both leave Disneyland at the same time. Christian travels north at 65 mph. Tanae travels south at 55 mph. How long will it take them to be 540 miles apart? Which of the following equations would you use to solve this word problem?
65t + 55(t − 1) = 540.
65t + 55t = 540.
65t + 55(t + 1) = 540.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B looks like it would work.

You add speeds * time when you are travelling in opposite directions.

I don't know why you would add or subtract 1 as in A and C

t = 540/120

t = 4.5 hours.

So after 4.5 hours they are 540 miles apart.
