Question

In a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of team b. Team b is also traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race. Using d for distance (in miles) and t for time (in hours), write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

Answer 1

Linear equation for team a; d = 6t + 2 and Linear equation for team b;

d = 6t.

What is the relationship between speed, distance and time?

To find speed, divide the distance of the journey by the time it took to travel. To calculate the time, divide distance by speed and to get the distance, multiply  speed by time.

Given that in a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and it is 2 miles ahead of team b.

Team b is traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue the traveling at their current rates for the remaining race.

We know that speed= distance/time

Linear equation for team a;

d = 6t + 2

Linear equation for team b;

d = 6t

d is distance and t is time.
