Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y = x +2.5\,km[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations for each runner are, respectively:

Marcia

[tex]x = 4\,km[/tex]

Tamara

[tex]y = x +2.5\,km[/tex]

Race length

[tex]s = \frac{4}{3}\cdot y[/tex]

The relationship between each runner is:

[tex]y = x +2.5\,km[/tex]
