Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill

in the blanks.
Tyrone and Neil got in trouble at football practice and have to run laps as a consequence.
Tyrone, who runs at a rate of 2 laps per minute, had completed 4 laps already when he was
joined on the track by Neil. Neil's pace is 6 laps per minute. At some point, the two will have
run the same distance. How many laps will each boy have run? How long will that take?
Tyrone and Neil will each have run
