Question 445130: Hello I am having trouble with this find the rate problem I don't even know where to start if you could help me I would be very grateful.
Jeremy walked 10 miled in one-half hour longer than it took Hugh to walk 7 miles. Jeremy walked at an average rate of one-half mile per hour faster than Hugh. Find the rates of both Jeremy and Hugh.
Thank You so much,
Tiffany

you have the distances, so find the times to find the rates

10 / (t + .5) = (7 / t) + .5 ___ t is Hugh's time ___ t+.5 is Jeremy's time
