Answer:

M=22, hope this helps

Explanation:

Set up Graham's altitude function A(m):

A(m) = 14040 - 50m <-- we subtract for descending

Set up Max's altitude function A(m):

A(m) = 12500 + 20m <-- we add for ascending

Set the altitudes equal to each other to solve for m:

14040 - 50m = 12500 + 20m

We type this equation into our search engine to solve for m and we get:

m = 22
