Using the <em>system of equation</em> created, Emily will catch up Lucy after 30 seconds
Given the Parameters :
- Lucy's distance = 2t
- Emily's distance = 5t
<u>We can set up an equation to represent the required scenario thus</u> :
Emily's distance = Lucy's distance + 90
5t = 2t + 90
We solve for t
<em>Collect like terms</em> :
5t - 2t = 90
3t = 90
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate t
t = 90/3
t = 30
Therefore, Emily will catch up with Lucy after 30 seconds

-9x=-36
divide both sides by -9
to get x by itself
to get +x
-9x/-9= -36/-9
cross out -9 and -9, then becomes -1*-1*x= x
x= -36/-9
answer:
x= 4
