Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Linda 35 mph
  • Martin 60 mph
  • distance travelled = 855 miles

Formula

Linda's speed * t + martin's speed * t = 855

s1 * t + s2 *t = 855

Solution

35*t + 60*t = 855t                Combine the left

95t = 855                              Divide both sides by 95

95t/95 = 855/95

t = 9

Answer

They will meet in 9 hours.
