For this case we have to write the equation of the position of each one.

We have then:

For the robber:

r = 14t

For the marshall :

r = 16 (t- (\frac{20}{60}))

r = 16 (t-\frac{1}{3})

By the time the marshall reaches the robber we have:

14t = 16 (t-\frac{1}{3})

From here, we clear the time.

We have then:

16t - 14t = \frac{16}{3}

2t = \frac{16}{3}

t =\frac{8}{3}

t = 2.7 h

Answer:

it takes the marshall to catch up to the robber about 2.7 hours.

Gnoma [55]
(a) 2x + 5x + 4 = 25 <== ur equation
    7x + 4 = 25
    7x = 25 - 4
    7x = 21
     x = 21/7
    x = 3

(b) first piece = 2x....= 2(3) = 6 ft <=
