Homework Statement
Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and the other from B, at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in hour. What are the speeds of two cars?

The Attempt at a Solution
In the first case,
I assumed that both are traveling toward a point C, and the speeds are x,y respectively(x>y).
Therefore, If car 2 were made to be still, then car 1 will travel with a speed of x-y
So, x-y=20 (Speed = Distance/time)
How can I continue with Case 2?
Help me out:)
