Answer:

Explanation:

I hope these are people in vehicles travelling toward each other.

80 mh * t + 40 mph * t = 420 miles

The two vehicles are going to travel a total of 420 miles. B will cover a lot more ground than A, but together they will make 420 miles

80t + 40t = 420

120t = 420

t = 420/120

t = 3.5

So after driving 3.5 hours, the two cars will meet.
