m=50*(t+4)
b=60*(t)
m-b=40
If they were trying to meet it would be 10t=200 t=20 20 hours
M went 200 miles from 6 am to 10 am.
in 20 hours for m 1000 from 6 am at 2 am the next day
in 16 hours for b 960
10 am +16 hours =2 am the next day they were within 40 k of each other.
They finally would meet 4 more hours later at 6am the second day

b gained on m at 10 kph
