Complete question :

seconds before Anna and runs at a rate of 3 feet per second. Anna runs at
a rate of 4 feet per second. Write an equation that represents this
situation.
Which equation could you solve to find when Anna will catch up to Steven.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given that:
Steve starts 15s before Anna and runs at a rate of 3ft per second
Anna runs at a rate of 4 feets per second
Let Anna's time = t
Anna's speed = 4ft/s
Then Steve's time = t + 15
Steve's speed = 3ft/s
Distance = speed * time
Anna's distance = Steve's distance
4t = 3(t + 15)
4t = 3t + 45
4t - 3t = 45
t = 45
Anna will catch up. With Steve after 45 seconds
