The other question was this: 2 lizards are 50 meters apart. Lizard A starts walking towards Lizard B at a constant speed of 1.57 m/s. At the same instant, Lizard B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.25 m/s² . How long before the two lizards meet? As both questions had a d value, an...

Our teacher wrote this to solve a similar question. If you cancel the 1/2 (a)(∆t), you'd be left with ∆t since the other side has ∆t²

I tried doing (vi)(∆ t) / 1/2(a)(∆ t) = 1/2(a)( ∆ t)² / 1/2(a)(∆ t) That allows you to cross out the two accelerations out and you end with an answer of 20. But apparently, they never meet. I then tried making them into two different equations and using graphing technology (Desmos) and they...
