The distance between Car A and car B,When Car A crosses the start line is:
distance =speed car B* time
distance=(15 m/s)(3 s)=45 m
 
Distance traveled by car A =x,  (when the car B is at the same distance from the start line)
time of car A=t

x=10 m/st  ⇒    x=10t    (1)

Distance traveled by car B=x
time of car B=t-3

x=15(t-3)  (2)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:

x=10t
x=15(t-3)

We solve this system of equations:

10t=15(t-3)
10t=15t-45
-5t=-45
t=-45 / -5
t=9

t-3=9-3=6

x=10 t=10 (9)=90

Answer: The time would be 9 seconds for Car A and 6 seconds for car B and the distance would be 90 meters.

Find the semi monthly salary when the weekly salary is $1,200
cestrela7 [59]

Semi-monthly means twice every month, typically either on the 1st and 15th,
or on the 15th and last.

Months don't line up with weeks in any regular way.   Depending on the
company, if they say "bi-monthly", they may pay 24 times a year, or else
26 times a year.

If they pay every 2 weeks, the semi-monthly is $2400.
