Juan and Leo were supposed to meet and drive ATVS on a trail
together. Juan is late so Leo started without him.
A. Write an equation for Leo's distance from the starting point
after riding for x hours. Write an equation for Juan's distance
from the starting point if he starts h hours after Leo.
B. Model With Mathematics Suppose h = 1. How can you use
graphs of the two equations to determine who finishes the trail
first?
C. How much of a head start must Leo have to finish the trail at
the same time as Juan?
Juan
15 mi/h
Leo
12 mi/h
The trail is
40 miles long.
