Set up appropriate systems of two linear equations in two unknowns and then solve the systems by determinants. All numbers are accurate to at least two significant digits.

A boat carrying illegal drugs leaves a port and travels at 42 mi/h. A Coast Guard cutter leaves the port 24 min later and travels at 50 mi/h in pursuit of the boat. Find the times each has traveled when the cutter overtakes the boat with drugs. See Fig. 5.35.
