Number 17:
___________________rate_______time________distance
A___________________r_________(___)_______d-p
B___________________s_________(___)________d
The time quantities are not clear and so are variables, unknowns. You would be given r and s are constant, d and p are expected to also be known constants, and you only know that A and B start AT THE SAME POINT in time; but you do not know the time quantities.
Use simple algebra to help.
Now use this to fill in the missing time quantities expressions.
___________________rate_______time________distance
A___________________r_________(d-p)/r_______d-p
B___________________s_________d/s________d
