Could you try using 3x3 instead of 3*3? That reason for this is that the latter one makes it CURSIVE instead of showing it. That may make it easier to understand your concerns...
And yes, the battery part is correct. I think you should redo the 2nd part with the x's instead of *'s though... Then I might be able to help.
I tried solving it myself and got it correct, but I might just be repeating the same mistake :P
There you go. Updated it.
My reasoning is that from the first two equations I get a relation between the distance to Curnorax and the distance to Smurnorax. C and S standing for the respective distances, I get: C=S/2-150.
Inserting that into my third equation I get:
A(S/2-150)=G(2xS-50) which yields the S of my previous post, which is too small.
You made a little mistake... Why would you multiply the speed by the respective distances?
If you multiply speed by distance, you get... well... it's nothing measurable really.. You have to divide the distance by the speed to obtain the time it takes to reach certain places. From there you can easily derive the distances. So try dividing instead of multiplying.
I tried to solve it again and succesfully obtained the same answer as I had obtained the first time I tested it. Good Luck if you're still interested :P
Uhh, that was quite a stupid mistake. If I didn't make another one, I get that Thorinax reaches Smurnorax 1496.25 seconds after Glorfmorax has reached Curnorax.
If this is not correct I'm done. :-)
Yeah, that's correct :)
