Zac and Lynn are each traveling on a trip. So far, Zac has traveled 123.75 miles in 2.25 hours. Lynn leaves half an hour after Zac. So far, she has traveled 105 miles in 1.75 hours. Assume Zac and Lynn travel at constant rates.
Let I represent the number of hours that have elapsed since Zac started traveling. Let y represent the number of
miles traveled. On a piece of paper, write a system of linear equations that represents the distance each of them has
traveled since Zac left on his trip. Assume Zac and Lynn continue to travel at the same constant rates and make no
stops
Part A
Determine the solution of the system of linear equations.
The solution is
D
Part B
What does the x-coordinate of the solution represent in terms of the context of the problem?
the number of hours after Zac began his trip when both he and Lynn will have traveled the same distance
O the number of hours after Zac began his trip when both he and Lynn will be traveling the same speed
O the number of hours after Lynn began her trip when both she and Zac will have traveled the same distance
the number of hours after Lynn began her trip when both she and Zac will be traveling the same speed
