mulder and scully are driving to the same town. mulder leaves the office at 8:30 am averaging 51 mph. scully leaves at 9:00 am, following the same path and averaging 54 mph. at what time will scully catch up with mulder?
let x travel time of scully when she catches up with mulder
x+.5)= travel time of mulder when scully catches up to him
travel time*speed=distance traveled(same for both)

51(x+.5=54x
51x+25.5=54x
3x=25.5
x=3.5
at what time will scully catch up with mulder?12 noon
