the bike trail is 46 mi,es long and runs from citrus springs to trilby. carlos and kevin decide to bike the rail from opposite directions.
-------------------------
carlos leaves citrus springs at 8:00 am traveling at an average speed of 8 miles per hour.
-------------------------
kevin leaves trilby at 10:00 am traveling at an average speed of 7 miles per hur.
------------------
at what distance, in miles, from citrus springs will the two friends meet?
-----------
Carlos distance = 8t where t is his time
Kevin's distance = 7(t-2)
---
Equation:
distance + distance = 46
8t + 7(t-2) = 46
15t -14 = 46
15t = 60
t = 4 hrs
---
Distance from Citrus Springs:
Carlos's distance = 8t = 32 miles
