Answer:

630 km

mark as brainliest if it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say distance between town A & town =  D km

Car A speed =  D/8   km/Hr

Car B speed = D/10 km/Hr

Car A covered distance = D/2 + 35

Car B covered Distance = D/2 - 35

let say they time to meet = T hr

T * D/8 = D/2 + 35   for CarA speed * Time = Car A Distance

TD = 4D + 280

T*D/10 = D/2 - 35  for CarB speed * Time = Car B Distance

TD = 5D - 350

4D + 280 =  5D - 350

D = 280 + 350

D = 630 km
