I need a let statement for x and y Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you are 36 miles apart
your speed =15 mph
her speed = 12 mph
..
travelling towards each other so add up the speeds
15+12=27 mph
...
t= distance/speed
t=36/27
t= 4/3 hours
...
time = 4/3
your speed = 15 mph
d= rt
d= 15*4/3
d= 5*4
d=20 miles .
you will meet her after you ride 20 miles.
