Destiny is eating lunch at her favorite cafe when her friend Jada calls and says she wants to meet her. Jada is calling from a city 65 miles65 miles away and wants to meet Destiny somewhere between the two locations. Jada says she will start driving right away, but Destiny needs 10 min to finish her lunch before she can begin driving. Jada plans to drive at 65 mph, whereas Destiny usually averages about 80 mph. Ignore acceleration and assume the highway is a straight line. How many minutes tmeet will Jada be driving before she meets Destiny? tmeet= ?     How many miles d will Destiny have traveled when they meet? d= ?
