Kilometers 23721

Eva left the cinema at a speed of 4 km/h. Half an hour later, Adam left after her with the mobile phone that Eva had forgotten at the cinema. It was moving at a speed of 6 km/h. How long will it take Adam to catch up with Eva, and how many kilometers from the cinema will it be? (x choose Adam's time, Eve moves half an hour longer).

Correct answer:

x =  1 h
s =  6 km

Step-by-step explanation:


4·(x+1/2)=6·x

4x = 4


x = 4/4 = 1

x = 1

Our simple equation calculator calculates it.
s=6 x=6 1=6 km
