Two runners live 33 miles apart. jim runs 8 miles per hour, and joan runs 6 miles per hour. if joan starts running toward jim's house and jim starts running toward joan's house 2 hours later, how long will jim have been running when they meet?

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

50-60=10
