Wanda started walking along a path 27 seconds before dave. wanda walked at a constant rate of 3 feet per second. dave walked along the same path at a constant rate of 4.5 feet per second. graph the system of linear equations. how long after dave starts walking will he catch up with wanda?

Wanda and Dave will catch each other in 54 seconds after Dave starts walking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Wanda and Dave catch each other when x be the time after Dave starts walking and y be the distance covered by them

It is given that Wanda started walking along a path 27 seconds before Dave and the constant speed of Wanda is 3 feet per second.

                           .... (1)

The constant speed of Dave is 4.5 feet per second.

                               .... (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2).

Divide both sides by 1.5.

Therefore, Wanda and Dave will catch each other in 54 seconds after Dave starts walking.

the answer is c

hope this !
