a motorcycle traveling at 50mph overtakes a car traveling at 30mph that had a 3hr head start.how far from the starting point are the two vehicles.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

30*3 + the time it takes for the bike to catch up

OpenStudy (amistre64):

30t + headstart = 50t headstart = 50t-30t headstart = 20t headstart/20 = t

OpenStudy (amistre64):

once you know t; then the distance is just 50t
