    Marisol = 2 mph

    Mimi = 3 mph and left 1 hour after Marisol had left

    They arrived at the same time.

    If Marisol took x hours to arrive, then Mimi took (x-1) hours. The distance was the same.

    Distance, D = Speed*Time

    Marisol: D = 2*x = 2x

    Mimi: D = 3 * (x-1) = 3x-3

    then,

    2x = 3x - 3 = > (2-3) x = - 3 = > - x = - 3=> x = 3 hours

    Therefore,

    D = 2x = 2*3 = 6 miles
