john and steve are speed walkers in a race . john is 14 meters behind steve when he begins his final push . john blazes to the finish at a pace of 4.2 m / s , while steve maintains a blistering 3.7 m / s speed . if john finishes the race 2 meters ahead of steve , how long was john ’ s final push ?
"let t be the time that john spent for his final push . thus , per the question , 4.2 t = 3.7 t + 14 + 2 - - - > 0.5 t = 16 - - - > t = 32 seconds . d is the correct answer ."
divide(add(divide(multiply(3.7, add(14, 2)), subtract(4.2, 3.7)), add(14, 2)), 4.2)
