Question

Neal and Abel are mountain biking on a 35-mile trail. Their rides are represented by these equations. Abel: d = 14t, Neal: d = 11t + 6 How many hours will the boys have travelled when they are at the same point on the trail? hours

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The boys would have traveled two hours to be at the same point on the trail

Explanation:

At the same point on the trail, the two boys would have traveled the same distance.

What this means is that the distance traveled by Neal would be equal to the distance traveled by Abel

Thus, we equate the equation of thur distances.

That would be;

14t = 11t + 6

14t -11t = 6

3t = 6

t = 2 hours
