Assuming they start from the same point & go in the same direction then:
\n" ); document.write( "D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "D=6T FOR THE FIRST WALKER.
\n" ); document.write( "D=10(T-3) FOR THE SECOND WALKER.
\n" ); document.write( "SEEING AS THE DISTANCES ARE THE SAME THEN:
\n" ); document.write( "6T=10(T-3)
\n" ); document.write( "6T=10T-30
\n" ); document.write( "6T-10T=-30
\n" ); document.write( "-4T=-30
\n" ); document.write( "T=-30/-4
\n" ); document.write( "T=7.5 HOURS AFTER THE FIRST WALKER LEAVES THEY WILL MEET.
\n" ); document.write( "pROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "6*7.5=10(7,5-3)
\n" ); document.write( "45=10*4.5
\n" ); document.write( "45=45
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
