    Dawn left the hardware store and traveled toward her friend’s house at an average speed of 25 km/h. Nicole left some time later traveling in the same direction at the average speed of 30 km/h. After traveling for five hours Nicole caught up with Dawn. How long did Dawn travel before Nicole caught up?

    Let me see.

    Dawn:

    D = 25(x + 5)

    Nicole:

    D = 30x

    D = D

    25(x + 5) = 30x

    You say?
