Problem

Two towns, AA and BB, are connected by a straight road, 1515 miles long. Traveling from town AA to town BB, the speed limit changes every 55 miles: from 2525 to 4040 to 2020 miles per hour (mph). Two cars, one at town AA and one at town BB, start moving toward each other at the same time. They drive exactly the speed limit in each portion of the road. How far from town AA, in miles, will the two cars meet?
