I included the first half of the sheet for reference, my real question is the table at the bottom. I don't know what she wants me to do or what to fill out. Please help!

Pre-Algebra 2 Unit 3: Performance Task Rational Expressions & Equations THE RUNNERS. We measure speed with the rate = distance/time. S = 4 t From this equation, find an equation d, distance and for t, time. DISTANCE TIME d=st t=d/s There are three runners who all run at different speeds. Their races are also three different distances. The combined times of the two slower runners added together is equal to the time of the fastest runner. The slowest runner is runner one and the faster runner is runner three. Your task is to find the speed of each runner, the distance that each runner travels, and how long it takes him or her to complete their race. The table below will give you some valuable information. TIME DISTANCE SPEED (SEC). (М- МЕТERS) (M/SEC) RUNNER ONE 50 X + 2 RUNNER TWO 15(5x + 1) x? - 1 RUNNER THREE 10(11x + 7) (x + 2)(x - 1)
