anonymous · Answer

one persons rate we could put as say $x$ and then the other would be $x+3$

anonymous · Answer

in two hours one has gone $2x$ miles and the other has gone $2x+6$ miles

anonymous · Answer

since they meet at the same place, this tells you that $2x+2x+6=28$ and you can solve for $x$
