Mr. Howard and Ms. Egan enjoy running on the weekends. They both usually run at a steady pace and try to meet in the middle. They are 14 miles apart. Mr. Howard can run 3 miles in 30 minutes. Ms. Egan can run 4 miles in 30 minutes.

Given :

Distance between them, D = 14 miles .

Mr. Howard can run 3 miles in 30 minutes.

Ms. Egan can run 4 miles in 30 minutes.

To Find :

Time taken by them to meet.

Solution :

Mr Howard speed, .

Mr Egan speed, . [ Since they run in opposite direction ]

Their relative speed :

Time taken by them to meet :

Hence, this is the required solution.

stethere all not eveanp-by-step explanation:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
