Allison and her husband Noah both get in their cars and begin to drive at the same time. Allison starts 360 mi from their home and drives directly home at a constant rate of 50 mph. Noah starts at their home and drives away from the home at a constant rate of 40 mph. The system that models this situation is given, where d represents the distance from home, and t represents time, in hours. The solution to the system is (4, 160).

What is the correct interpretation of the solution to this system?

d=360-50t
d=40t
