Answer:

26 2/3 minutes: The two boys meet after 26 2/3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by Jim = Distance covered by Bob

(5 mph)(t) = (8 mph)(t - 10)

Simplify this by performing the indicated multiplication:

(5 mph)(t) = (8 mph)(t) - 80 mi

or:

80 mi = (3 mph)(t), or

80 mi

t = ----------- = 26 2/3 minutes

3 mph
