May rides her bike the same distance that Leah walks. May rides her bike 10 km/h faster than Leah walks. If it takes May 1 h and Leah 3 h to travel that distance, how fast does each travel?
------------------------
Leah DATA:
Rate = x km/hr ; Time = 3 hr ; distance =rt = 3x km
---------------------------
May DATA:
Rate = (x+10) km/h ; Time = 1 hr; distance = (x+10) km/hr
----------------------------
EQUATION:
distance = distance
3x = x+10
2x = 10
x = 5 km/hr (Leah's Rate)
x+10 = 15 km/hr (May's Rate)
