Math Problem Statement
Jordan and Amari run a 200-meter race, and Jordan wins by 23 meters. Let x be the distance behind the starting line that Jordan needs to start in order for the race to be a tie. Divide the total distance Amari needs to run by Amari's speed. Set this equal to the total distance, including x, that Jordan needs to run and divide by Jordan's speed. Then solve for x.
