Answer:

Before: Bob, $4; Bessy, $24
After: Bob, $10; Bessy, $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money Bob starts with. Then Bessy starts with 6x. After they have each earned $6, the relationship of their amounts is ...

(6x +6) = 3(x +6)

6x +6 = 3x +18

3x = 12

x = 4

Bob starts with $4; Bessy with $24.

After earning $6, Bob has $10; Bessy has $30.

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...

time = distance/speed

time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s

That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.

The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.
