meet.
HELPP

Given:

Speed of Timmy = 5 miles per hour

Speed of sam = 4 miles per hour and head start of 2 miles

To find:

Where Timmy and Sam will  meet.

Solution:

Let x be the number hours they ran in marathon and y be the total distance covered.

Speed of Timmy is 5 miles per hour. So, total distance covered by Timmy in x hours is

      ...(i)

Speed of sam is 4 miles per hour and head start of 2 miles. So, total distance covered by sam in x hours is

   ...(ii)

Now, equate (i) and (ii).

The value of x is 2. It means they will meet after 2 hours.

Put x=2 in (i).

It means, they will meet at 10 miles.

95.03 is the answer. hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

******************

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years
