In a canoe race, Team A is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of Team B. Team B is also traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race. Using d for distance (in miles) and t for time (in hours), write a system of linear equations that represent this situation.Equation for Team A:Equation for Team B:Will team B catch up to Team Ao Yeso No

Respuesta :

First of all, we need to remember the equation of the speed and time:

distance = speed x time

Now, for the first team (team A):

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=6\frac{miles}{hour}\cdot t+2; \\ x\text{ - distance} \\ t\text{ - time} \end{gathered}[/tex]

After that, for the second team (team B):

[tex]x=6\frac{miles}{hour}\cdot t[/tex]

Finally, the team B never catch up to team A!
