Please help me Herbert and Samantha are both driving from Orlando to Miami. Herbert

leaves at 9:00 and averages 60 mph (miles per hour) on the way. Samantha
leaves at 9:10 and averages 65 mph on the way. The situation is modeled by
this system, where x is the number of hours after Samantha leaves and y is
the distance each will travel:
y = 60x + 10
y = 65x
How long after Samantha leaves will she pass Herbert, and how far will they
each have traveled?
A. Samantha will not pass Herbert, because she will never catch up
with him
B. Samantha will pass Herbert after 3 hours, and they each will have
traveled 180 miles.
O C. Samantha will pass Herbert after 2 hours, and they each will have
traveled 130 miles.
O D. Samantha will pass Herbert after 3 hours, and they each will have
traveled 190 miles.
