Question

two hikers begin hiking at the same time from different locations on a trail. the system of equations graphed on the grid represents this situation.
distance from start of trail (mi)
which value best represents the number of hours the two hikers have been hiking when they are the same distance from the start of the trail?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify intersection point

The two lines cross at $(2, 3)$, where the x-axis is time (h) and y-axis is distance (mi).

Step2: Extract time value

The x-coordinate of the intersection is the number of hours when their distances are equal.

Answer:

2 hours
