Given:
Nancy is running 3 meters per second.
Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second.
To find:
The equations for Nancy and Juan.
Solution:
Let x be the number of seconds.
Nancy is running 3 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Nancy in the race is
Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Juan in the race is
Therefore, the equations of Nancy and Juan are and respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.
A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:
.
To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
