"Maddox starts hiking from the main entrance to a trail. Penny starts her hike from the same entrance a little while later. The equations below represent the distance, d, in yards, that each person is from the entrance of the trail m minutes after Penny starts hiking from the entrance. Maddox: d = 40m + 200 Penny: d = 50m Which statement is true? Penny will be able to catch up to Maddox 20 minutes after Penny starts hiking on the trail. Penny will be able to catch up to Maddox when they are both 500 yards from the entrance to the trail. Penny will not be able to catch up to Maddox because Maddox started hiking 10 minutes earlier than Penny. Penny will not be able to catch up to Maddox because Maddox was 200 yards ahead of Penny when she started hiking.
