Jason and Melinda are both driving from Fort Worth, Texas, to Van Horn, Texas. Jason leaves at 8:30 and averages 60 mph (miles per hour) on the
way, Melinda leaves at 9:00 and averages 70 mph on the way. The situation is
modeled by this system, where x is the number of hours after Melinda leaves
and y is the distance each will travel:
y = 60x + 30
y = 70x
