25t + 3t = 9
This equation represents the combined distance that Mike and Jamal will travel to meet each other. The total distance is 9 miles, so the equation sets that equal to the distance traveled by Mike (3t) and the distance traveled by Jamal (25t).
Mike and Jamal are 9 miles apart, and are planning to meet up. Mike is walking at an average speed of 3 miles per hour to meet Jamal. Jamal is driving at an average speed of 25 miles per hour to meet Mike.
A table showing Rate in miles per hour, Time in hours, and Distance in miles. The first row shows, Mike and has, 3, t, and 3 t. The second row has Jamal, and has, 25, t, and 25 t.
Which equation can be used to find t, the time it takes for Mike and Jamal to meet?
25t + 3t = 1
25t + 3t = 9
