Answer:
180 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The Nissan had traveled (120 km/h)(1/3 h) = 40 km when it had the puncture. It started from that location when the puncture was repaired at t = (1/3+1/2) = 5/6, where t is in hours. Then the two vehicles met (again) when ...
Matatu distance = Nissan distance
90t = 40+120(t -5/6)
0 = 40 +30t -100 . . . . . . subtract 90t, eliminate parentheses
60 = 30t . . . . . . . . . . . add 60
2 = t . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 hours after leaving, the cars meet again
That distance from town A is ...
y = 90t = 90(2) = 180 . . . . km
