Billy and his younger brother Reggie are going to race each other to the park they will start running at the same time but Billy is letting Reggie start 20 M ahead Billy can run 8 m/s and Reggie can run 6 m per second which equation can you use to find s the number of seconds it will take for Billy to catch up to Reggie if they start they run as fast as they can

Answer 1

To find the number of seconds it will take for Billy to catch up to Reggie, we can use the equation:

8s = 6s + 20

where s is the number of seconds it will take for Billy to catch up to Reggie.

Solving for s:

8s = 6s + 20
2s = 20
s = 10

Therefore, it will take 10 seconds for Billy to catch up to Reggie.
