Time = distance/speed
Since you want to find the time Holly spent riding, you need to divide her distance (24 miles) by her speed (6 miles/hour) to get the number of hours (4) that she rode. Her starting time added to the time spend riding will give her ending time. One must subtract the riding time from the ending time to find the starting time.
Selection A is appropriate.
I want to say it is A because if you simplify it then it should say 36x/6x. I hope this helps! If wrong correct me..

Complete the expression to determine the dimension of a rectangle
We have:

Factorize
Factor out x + 2
Solve for x

or 
The value of x cannot be negative
So:
Recall that:
So:
---- i.e. 5 - 3
If the runner moves at 6 miles per hour for 2 hours before the cyclist starts, the runner has a 12 mile lead at the beginning. If the cyclist is going at 16 miles per hour, he is overtaking the runner at 10 miles per hour, because 16-6=10. Then, the amount of time it takes the cyclist to go 2 miles in 10 miles per hour is the answer. this is 1/5 of an hour, or 12 minutes.
