Let's use it for X hours, then it's 14-x
80x=60(14-x)
80x=840-60x
140x=840
x=6
6 × 80 = 480km



The road from a to B is 436 kilometers long. Two cars drive from two places. Car a travels 42 kilometers per hour, while car B travels 46 kilometers per hour. After two hours, car B starts. How many hours do the two cars meet?


(436-42 × 2) / (42 + 46) = 4 (hours)
