Yup! You got it so far! Keep it up! <3
We have been given an equation 
. We are also told that x is greater than 0. We are asked to choose the equation that can be written as our given equation.
Since x is greater than, so we will take positive root on both sides of our given equation as:
Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that option C is same as our answer.
Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.
Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.
Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5
Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.
<em>Answer,</em>
C. 1650
<em>Explanation,</em>
<em>495/6 = 82.5</em>
<em>82.5 x 20 = </em><em>1650</em>
