Accepted Solution

A:
Given that In a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of team b.

Team b is also traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race.

The system of linear equations that represents this situation is given by

d = 6t + 2
d = 6t
