Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

<span>y in (-oo:+oo)
(3*y+6)/11 = -9 // + 9
(3*y+6)/11+9 = 0
(3*y+6)/11+(9*11)/11 = 0
3*y+9*11+6 = 0
3*y+105 = 0
(3*y+105)/11 = 0
(3*y+105)/11 = 0 // * 11
3*y+105 = 0
3*y+105 = 0 // - 105
3*y = -105 // : 3
y = -105/3
y = -35
y = -35</span>
