Idk if this wil help but...

Let speed of Matthew be X yards/min Speed of Lowe = 3X yards/min.

Distance covered by Matthew in 30 minutes = 30X

Distance covered by Lowe in 30 minutes = 30(3X)= 90X

90X = 30X + 1200 X = 20 yards/min

Let speed of Matthew be X yards/min Speed of Lowe = 3X yards/min.

Distance covered by Matthew in 30 minutes = 30X

Distance covered by Lowe in 30 minutes = 30(3X)= 90X

90X = 30X + 1200 X = 20 yards/min
