Question

The distances (y), in miles, of two cars from their starting points at certain times (x), in hours, are shown by the equations below:
Car A
y = 55x + 32
Car B
y = 42x + 58
After how many hours will the two cars be at the same distance from their starting point and what will that distance be?

Answer 1

it wants to know when theyll be the same distance so one way to solve is to plug in numbers for x until u get them to equal each other

Answer 2

also since x=time in hours once u find the lowest number that works for x that will be hours and the total will be distance

Answer 3

so what is the final answer?
