The equation would be 2x+2(x+2)=28 when x= the speed of the slower runner.

If you solve for x you get 6, which is the speed of the slower runner. Then if you add 2 you get the speed of the faster runner-8

Do land and sea breezes blow in opposite directions?

Yes, land and sea breezes blow in opposite directions. During the day, the land heats up faster than the sea, creating low pressure over the land. This draws cool air from the sea toward the land, resulting in a sea breeze blowing from the water to the land. At night, the reverse occurs as the land cools faster than the sea, leading to a land breeze blowing from the land to the water.
