Determine Maxs rate.

15. Drt Sam Mary Max leaves a gas station in Denver at 11:00am heading west. At the same time, Mary leaves the same station heading east. Since Max is driving in the mountains, his average rate is 10 mph slower than Marys. At 3:00pm they are 480 miles apart. Determine Maxs rate. Since distance = rate × time, Sams distance is … … and Marys distance is…

16. Drt Sam Mary Max leaves a gas station in Denver at 11:00am heading west. At the same time, Mary leaves the same station heading east. Since Max is driving in the mountains, his average rate is 10 mph slower than Marys. At 3:00pm they are 480 miles apart. Determine Maxs rate. (Sams distance) + (Marys distance) = 480 miles 2) Write the equation
