Answer:

It will take 12.5 days for Alejandra to catch up with Javier and they both will have travelled 800m

Step-by-step explanation:

Alejandra "catching up" implies that they will both have travelled the same distance

Therefore,

Let y represent the distance when Alejandra will catch up with Javier

Since both equations have the same y-value (distance):

24x+500 = 12x+650

24x - 12x = 650 - 500

12x = 150

x = 12.5

It will take 12.5 days for Alejandra to catch up with Javier

Next, put the amount of time into any of the 2 equations to find what the distance is:

24x + 500 = y

24 (12.5) + 500 = y

y = 800

800m is the distance travelled when Alejandra catches up with Javier

Ok so when the divisor get larger, the quotient gets smaller.
For example, 15 ÷ 3 = 5. If we make the divisor larger, you can see the quotient get smaller. 15 ÷ 5 = 3.
The same thing goes for the other way around. If the divisor gets smaller, the quotient gets larger. Hope I helped!
