Step-by-step explanation:
The first option, as it positively supports the claim stated.
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
Andrea started 6 miles ahead of Peter and is traveling at a rate of 12 miles per hour.
let the number of hours be x
and the total distance traveled be y
y=6+12x------------1
<em>the initial distance is 6 miles</em>
<em>the distance traveled after x hours = 12x</em>
Peter is traveling at a rate of 14 miles per hour.
y=14x------------2
<em>the initial distance is 0 miles</em>
<em>the distance traveled after x hours = 14x</em>
Step two:
let us equate the two expressions above
6+12x=14x
14x-12x=6
2x=6
divide both sides by 2
x=6/2
x= 3 hours
it will take 3 hours for both of them to cover the same distance
