Answer:
They will be 140 miles apart 8 hours after the first boy started the trip or 6 hours after the second boy started the trip.
Explanation:
x = the time that the first boy travels at 14 mph
x - 2 = the time the second boy travels at 14 mph
140 the distance between them
Since one travels north and the other east (their roads are perpendicular) the distance between them can be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem
(14*x)^2 + ((x-2)*14)^2 = 140^2
the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x1 = - 6 is not the solution since x > 0
x2 = 8 h is the solution
Answer: Objective Observations
Explanation: The first step in the Scientific Method is to make objective observations. These observations are based on specific events that have already happened and can be verified by others as true or false
