David reaches Lahore and starts back for Islamabad.
 How far Lahore will he meet Frank?
:
Find the time for the faster cyclist to arrive at Lahore
t = {{{210/20}}}
t = 10.5 hr
:
Find how far Frank is from Lahore in 10.5 hrs
d = 210 -(15*10.5)
d = 52.5 km from Lahore when David arrives at Lahore
:
Find the travel time (m) for them to meet from this point
write a distance equation, dist = speed * time
15m + 20m = 52.5
35m = 52.5
m = {{{52.5/35}}}
m = 1.5 hrs for them to meet
:
Find how far from Lahore in 1.5 hrs
1.5*20 = 30 km from Lahore when they meet
