The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:
- Jeff position:
where:
7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him
2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour
t is the time measured in hours
- Sister position:
where
6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)
t is the time measured in hours
The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so
And solving for t,
So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.

We have two solutions for this problem based on the given equation.
<u><em>Answer #1:</em></u>
<u>If the given equation was:</u>
To solve for f, we would need to isolate the "f" on one side of the equation.
In case of the above equation, we can simply do that by subtracting from both sides of the equation
<u>This would give:</u>
f + -
= 6 -
f = 6 -
<u><em>Answer #2:</em></u>
<u>If the given equation was:</u>
To solve for f, we would still need to isolate the "f" on one side of the equation.
<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
................> multiply both sides by (g)
f + 4 = 6g ................> subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
f + 4 - 4 = 6g - 4
f = 6g - 4
Hope this helps :)
