To find when the distance traveled (y) and the minutes spent biking (x) are the same for both friends, we need to set their equations equal to each other and solve for x.
Set the equations equal to each other:
4x = 3x + 15
Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate x:
4x - 3x = 15
x = 15
Therefore, the distance traveled in miles (y) and the minutes spent biking (x) will be the same for both friends after 15 minutes.
Enter the answer in the space provided.
Jackson and Ginger are both learning to ride a bike. Jackson can travel y = 4x miles, and Ginger travels y = 3x + 15.
When will the distance traveled in miles (y) and the minutes spent biking (x) be the same for both friends?
