m = d+8
33/d = 37/m = 37/(d+8)
33(d+8) = 37d
33*8 + 33d = 37d
33*8 = 4d
33*2 = d
d = 66
m = 74
check:
dennis takes 1/2 hour to go 33km
mary takes 1/2 hour to go 37 km
33/d = 37/m = 37/(d+8)
33(d+8) = 37d
33*8 + 33d = 37d
33*8 = 4d
33*2 = d
d = 66
m = 74
check:
dennis takes 1/2 hour to go 33km
mary takes 1/2 hour to go 37 km
