The answer to the question
Answer:
<em>Hence, it will take</em><em> 9 seconds </em><em>for kirk to run </em><em>63+9=72 yards </em><em>and catch upto Max. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'y' represents the time Max and Kirk took to meet.
Let the distance between the destination where they will meet from the place where Max is be: x yards
So the distance of destination from initial position of kirk is x+9 yards ( As Max is given a head start of 9 yards)
- As speed of Max is 7 yards per sec.
And
Hence,
- also speed of kirk is 8 yards per second.
By the similar definition of speed we have:
Hence (1) and (2) are the required system of equation.
So on solving the system of equations by elimination method we have:
y=9 and x=63.
Hence, it will take 9 seconds for kirk to run 63+9=72 yards and catch upto Max.
