Question 944909
The variable assignments here WILL be j for Josh's time, and therefore j+1 for Leila's time.  At their individual rates and travel times, they reach the same distance, d.


____________________rate___________time______________distance
Leila_______________24_____________j+1________________d
Josh________________36______________j_________________d



d is the same value for both of them.
{{{24(j+1)=36*j}}}
Solve for j.
