Johns boat was 30 miles away. It traveled 20 miles in 5 hours (50-30 = 20)
20/5 = 4
It traveled at 4 miles per hour.
The equation for Roberta’s boat multiplied 5 by x( number of hours) so this means her boat is traveling at 5 miles per hour.
Then 25 gets added at the end, this means her boat was 25 miles away at the beginning.
Johns boat was further away at the beginning and Robertas boat is traveling faster.
