Answer:

You need to find the equations for each scenario and set them = to each other

Explanation:

A) S = 5t + 5

B) S = 7t + 2

Now set them = and solve for t

5t + 5 = 7t + 2

3 = 2t

t = 3/2 of an hr

To check plug in 3/2 into both equations and you should get same answer.

Hope this helps and never stop striving to learn more!
