Answer:
3 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance remaining after time t be x miles.
Distance traveled by Alan = (6-x) miles
Distance traveled by Soren = (8-x) miles
Time takes by the two is the same. Therefore,
(8-x)/12 = (6-x)/7 => 7(8-x) = 12(6-x) => 56-7x = 72-12x => 12x-7x = 72 -56 => 5x= 16 => x = 16/5 = 3.2 miles.
And then, time taken (t) = (8-3.2)/12 = (6-3.2)/7 = 0.4 hours
7% of $45:
= 0.07 * 45
= 3.15
Increase = $3.15
The center is (-2,0)
The radius is -3
