(d) They pass each other at noon (12 hours) = 12 - R.

(e) Let D - x = the distance Sally has traveled when they cross, then x = the distance

Bob has traveled at that time.

(f) Then [D/(16 - R)] (12 - R) = D - x and [D/(21 - R)] (12 - R) = x

(g) [D/(16 - R)] (12 - R) = D - x ---> (12 - R)/(16 - R) = 1 - x/D and

(h) [D/(21 - R)] (12 - R) = x --->(12 - R)/(21 - R) = x/D

(i) (12 - R)/(16 - R) = 1 - x/D = 1 - (12 - R)/(21 - R)

(j) (12 - R)(21 - R) = (16 - R)[21 - R - (12 - R)] = (16 - R)8 --->

(k) 252 - 33R + R^2 = 128 - 8R ---> R^2 - 25R + 124 = 0 --->

(l) R = [25 ± sqrt(25^2 - 4(124))]/2 = [25 ± 11.3578]/2 ---> R = 6.8211 (only valid solution)

Thus, R = 6.8211 hours = 6:49 AM

sally speed x
bob speed y
distance z
sunrise w am
z=4x+9y
4x +9y / 21-w = y
4x +9y / 16-w = x
4x/y -12 = 9 y/x - 12
x = 1.5 y
total distance = 15 y
out of 9y was after noon so 6y was before therefore sunrise at 6

6:42 for me.
