Question

Suppose ajay began the trail 325 meters ahead of tory. write a system of equations to represent the distance y each person will travel after any number of minutes x

Answer 1

Tory:

`v = \displaystyle(r)/(x)\\\\vx = r`

Ajay:

`v = \displaystyle(325+r)/(x)\\\\vx =325+ r`

Explanation:

In order to answer this question we need to make the following assumptions:

Let Ajay and Tory have the same speed represented by:

v = Speed in meters per minute.

Formula:

`Speed = \displaystyle(Distance)/(Time)`

Now, it is given that Ajay began the trail 325 meters ahead of Tory.

Let d be the distance traveled by Tory.

Then, we can represent the situation in the form of equations.

Tory:

`v = \displaystyle(r)/(x)\\\\vx = r`

Ajay:

`v = \displaystyle(325+r)/(x)\\\\vx =325+ r`

Answer 2

y represent the distance each person will travel
x time of travel in minutes
Suppose ajay began the trail 325 meters ahead of tory. so the distance of ajay
y = 325 + rxwhere r is the speed of ajay
for tory
y = vxwhere v is the speed of torry
