Answer:

Kim was biking for 2 and a half hours before she caught up Kyle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to Kyle is biking at a constant rate of 15mph, the equation that describes her position X_1 is:

X_1=15*t

Where t is the time in hours that Kyle has been biking.

Then, the equation that describes the position of Kim, X_2 is:

X_2=18*(t-0.5)

This equation applies for values of t that are bigger than half an hour, and it is formulate in this way because Kim starts half an hour later or 0.5 hours later than Kyle.

So, for know the time in hours in which Kyle and Kim have the same position we need to make X_1 equal to X_2 as:

X_1=X_2\\15*t = 18*(t-0.5)\\15*t = (18*t )- 9\\9 = (18*t )-(15*t)\\9= 3*t\\3 = t

So, after 3 hours, Kim caught up Kyle.

Taking into account that Kim starts half an hour later, the time that Kim was biking before she caught up Kyle is calculated as:

3 hours - 0.5 hours = 2.5 hours

Finally, Kim was biking for 2 and a half hours before she caught up Kyle.

now,, youll need to calculate the product of the first multiplication set
6x - 2 × 10
finally,, multiply the last set of numbers
6x - 20
this means that the correct answer to your question is 6x - 20.
