$32/3$ times

Andrew runs $= 4min$

Bryan runs $= 3min$

Total race runs $=36min$

Since its same Circuit that means its a Linear Equation..

How many times does bryan overtake andrew during the race??

Solution

Let the times Bryan overtook Andrew during the race be represented by $x$

$3 xx x + 4 = 36 -> "Statement"$

$3 xx x + 4 = 36$

$3x + 4 = 36$

Subtract $4$ from both sides..

$3x + 4 - 4 = 36 - 4$

$3x = 32$

$x = 32/3$

Hence Bryan overtook Andrew during the race $32/3$ times..
