A ship is located at A, 10 miles south of a ship located at B . The ship at B is going to travel east at a rate of 2 miles per hour while the ship at A can travel at 5 miles per hour. He wishes to meet the ship traveling from B at some point C, only he needs to know where C is so that he can set his course.

Find the value of x by using the formula: time traveled = distance/rate for both ships and setting the times equal to each other.
