In the Araneta Coliseum bask Ateneo cheering squads are in a final showdown. Positioned at opposite ends, they simultaneously move towards the center. La Salle, on the left, moves at 5m/s to the right, while Ateneo, on the right, moves at 1m/s to the left. When will they meet (t₁), starting at t=0, and at what position on the court relative to La Salle's starting point (x₂), if the court is 2,800 cm long?
