Let DaMarcus distance d and speed s then from given information we can write equation as d = s 34
And Fabian equation can be given as 23 d = ( s + 6 ) 12
Substitute first equation in second equation
23 s 34 = ( s + 6 ) 12 23 72 = 46 s s = 49 46
is Damarcus speed and s+6 Fabian speed.
We got speed in negative ,some information may be given wrong but the procedure is correct
