Germaine walks at the rate of 10 feet every five seconds while Nolan walks at the rate of 15 feet every five seconds. If Germaine has a head start of 25 feet, how many seconds will they be at the same spot?

Answer:

10/5*x + 25 = 15/5*x

2*x + 25 = 3*x

25 = x

After 25 seconds they will be at the same spot
