So, if the equestrian was traveling for two hours at 10mph before her father jumped on his scooter to follow her, then she was already 20 miles away when he jumped on the scooter
10 miles traveled in one hour*2= 20 miles traveled in 2 hours
The expression for her travels is '20+10x' where x=the number of hours traveled after 12:00p.m.
Her dad traveled at 15 miles per hour, his travels can be represented by the expression '15x' where x is equal to the number of hours traveled after 12p.m.
Now we have to solve for x...
20+10x=15x
subtract 10x from both sides
20=5x
divide both sides by 5
4=x
It will take 4 hours for her father to meet up with her
***Check your work
20+10x=20+10(4)=20+40=60 miles
15x=15(4)=60 miles
