We have the following:
solving for x
The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation

The cat will take 0.8 seconds to catch up with the mouse
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The distance between the cat and the mouse = 4 feet
cat's speed = 17 feet per second.
mouse's speed = 12 feet per second
To Find:
how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?
Solution:
We know that
distance = speed x time
Rewriting the equation for time we get
time =
now we know that distance is 4 feet
and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second
Thus the time is
=
= 0.8 seconds
