Question 999962
Sarah starts at a point 26 miles from school and runs toward school at 6 miles per hour. Ryan starts from school 1.3 hours later and runs towards Sarah at 8 miles per hour. Let x be the number of hours Sarah has been running 
Write an expression in terms of x for the distance Sarah has run 
Write an expression in terms of x for Sarah's distance from the school 
Write an expression in terms of x for the time Ryan has been running 
Write an expression in terms of x for Ryan's distance from the school 
Write and solve an equation to find when Sarah and Ryan meet 
How far are they from the school when they meet

let x=number of hours Sarah has been running 
x-1.3=number of hoursRyan has been running 
Distance=speed*travel time
6x=Sarah's distance from the school
8(x-1/3)=Ryan's distance from the school
6+8=14 mph=speed at which Sarah and Ryan are approaching each other
26/14=1.857 hrs=Time Sarah and Ryan meet
26-6*1.857=4.857 miles= How far are they from the school when they meet
