Steve and elsie are camping in the desert, but have decided to part ways. steve heads north, at 8 am, and walks steadily at 2 miles per hour. elsie sleeps in, and starts walking west at 2.5 miles per hour starting at 10 am. when will the distance between them be 25 miles?

2.57 hours

Explanation:

Let t (hours) be the times it takes for Elsie to walk until they are 25 miles apart. Since Steve is 2 hours earlier, the time it takes for him is t + 2

Distance Steve covers to the North is

Distance that Elsie covers to the West is

Distance between Steve and Elsie is

We can solve for t by raise the power on both sides to the 2nd

t = 2.57 or t = -4.13

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 2.57  hours

the following is queen elizabeth’s purposes:

- to encourage the parliament that the technique of picking successors to the seat based merely on birthright needs to be reviewed.

- (not) to convince the parliament that her kid should not be measured as a likely choice for heir to the english power.

- to persuade the parliament that merely since she has a child does not assure that the kid will be a capable leader.

- to sway the parliament how shattering it could be if they proceeded discourteously concerning her or her child.
