Question

Yo’s hi and Mariam are both driving from Chicago to Columbus yo’s hi leaves at 8:00 and averages 60 mph on the way.Mariam leaves at 8:15 and averages 65 mph on the way. The situation is modeled by this system, where x is the number of hours after Mariam leaves and y is the distance each will travel: y=60x+15

Y=65x

How long after Miriam leaves will she pass Yoshi, and how far will they each travel?

Answer 1

x = 3

y = 195

Explanation:

y = 60x + 15

y = 65x

65x = 60x + 15

5x = 15

x = 3

y = 65(3)

y = 195

Hope it helps!
