Question

Mary starts at a point 26 miles from school and runs toward school at 6mph. Randy starts from school 1.3 hours later and runs towards Mary at 8mph. For how long has Mary been running when she and Randy meet?
at time t hours, since distance = time * speed, when they have covered the 26 miles, solve for t.

6t + 8(t-1.3) = 26
