The second boat will catch up in 8.5 hours, and they will be 187 km from their port.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the system of equations are d=18t+34 and d=22t, you first rewrite d=18t+34 as an equation. 18t+34=22 and that equals to 8.5=t. Then you solve the next one d=22t and the answer you got from the other equation, you substitute d=22(8.5) and that equals to 187.
