Question 20 • Algebra 2 with Probability
At the point of intersection, Erik and Raj have the same elevation at the same time. Set their elevation equations equal: 12 − 0.75t = 0.75t, so 12 = 1.5t and t = 8 seconds. Thus, both had been riding the escalator for 8 seconds when they were at the same elevation, which is choice B.
