If you drew out this line segment with the points in the order we are given them, the segment would be labeled as a, b, c, d in that order. We are given a measure for ab, and we are also given a measure for bd with c being ignored for a minute. The entire length of the segment can be found by adding ab and bd. 6 + 23 = ad and ad = 29. So the length of the whole segment is 29. We have the length of cd given to be equal to ab, so cd = 6. ab + bc + cd = ad and we are looking for bc. Since we have the other lengths and the length of the whole segment, we fill in accordingly: 6 + bc + 6 = 29. Solving for bc we get bc = 17.
<em><u>Speed of skyler is 204 mph and speed of marcus is 212 mph</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Skyler is 104 miles away from Marcus
Therefore,
Distance = 104 miles
They meet after 4 hours
Time taken = 4 hours
Let "x" be the speed of sklyer
Marcus travels 8 mph faster than skyler
Therefore,
Speed of marcus = 8 + x
They are traveling towards each other
Since they are traveling towards each other, we can add up their speeds
Speed = x + 8 + x = 2x + 8
<em><u>The distance is given by formula:</u></em>

Thus speed of skyler = x = 204 mph
Speed of marcus = 8 + x = 8 + 204 = 212 mph
Thus speed of skyler is 204 mph and speed of marcus is 212 mph
