42(2/7)=$12

Answer:
13 yds
Step-by-step explanation:
the blue side starter (B) swims 29yd in the time it takes the red side starter (R) to swim 21yd
their combined distance, when they meet, is 50yd (length of pool)
they pass each other and continue to the ends of the pool (combined distance, 100yd)
they swim towards each other again, and pass a second time (combined distance, 150yd)
at this point, R has swum 63yd (3*21) -- one length plus 13yd
so RS is 13yd from the blue end
The argument is valid by the law of detachment.
You add +7 to both sides and then divide by 9 to get the x alone.
