Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. A pair of kids and a pair of adults decided to compete in a three-legged race. The kids got to start 15 yards ahead of the adults, since they had shorter legs. When they were told to start, the kids hobbled forward at a rate of 1 yard per second, and the adults hobbled after them at a rate of 4 yards per second. Soon they were side-by-side. How long did that take? How far did the adults go?

It took seconds for the adults to go yards and catch up to the kids?

i dont know men

step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

what is the model?
