If 2 cars start 100 miles apart drive in a straight line in opposite directions 1 is going 60 mph and 1 is going 45 mph when will they collide?

Never, since they are travelling in opposite directions.
. . . but probably not the one the algebra book's authors intended....
If you assume that "opposite directions" means the cars are travelling towards each other, their closing speed (i.e. relative speed) is 105 mph. That means they'll meet in 100/105 hours, or slightly more than 57 minutes.

Wo trains leave the station at the same time going in opposite directions One of the trains travels at 90 mph and the other is traveling at 120 mph After how many hours will they be 735 miles apart?
Going in opposite directions, they separate at the rate of (90 + 120) = 210 miles per hour.They are 735 miles apart after (735/210) = 3.5 hours.
A Canada goose and a Great Blue Heron took off in opposite directions The goose flew at 20 mph and the heron flew at 10 mph When they landed they were 180 miles apart Altogether they flew for 14?
4 hours (goose) and 10 hours (heron)
Two people running pass each other they continue in opposite directions the first person runs 6 mph the other one is running 10 mph how many minutes will pass before they are 2 miles apart?
7 mins 30 sec. Their combined speeds are 16mph, this is their relative speed to each other. After an hour they will be 16 miles apart. After half an hour 8 miles apart, after 15 minutes 4 miles apart and after 7 mins and 30 seconds they will be 2 miles apart. 7.5 minutes ~ Dawn Ayers

What is the total momentum between two identical balls traveling toward each other at the same speed from opposite directions?
They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.

How are divergent and tranform fault boundaries different?
At a divergent plat boundary the plates are moving APART in opposite directions and this is a constructive plate boundary.A transform boundary is one where the plates are SLIDING past each other in opposite directions.

What is shearing of rocks?
Shearing is a deformation of a material substance in which parallel internal surfaces slide past one another. It affects the rocks in the Earth's crust when the rocks are being pulled apart in opposite horizontal directions.
