The distance to the emporium is the same as from it to back home.



r, speed walking home
k=2, difference in speed to home versus to emporium
d=2
T=2&2/3, total time going plus returning
Question asks for r. 
             SPEED       TIME       DISTANCE

GOING          r+2      d/(r+2)       2

RETURNING       r       d/r           2

TOTAL

Solve for r:
