Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
RT=D rate time distance;
___________________speed__________time__________distance
WALK________________r______________4____________d
BIKE_______________r+6_____________1____________d
The solution from here requires only one single equation. Based on the related information and the actual question, you can redo the data table as this instead:
___________________speed__________time__________distance
WALK________________r-6___________4_____________d
BIKE________________r_____________1_____________d
Still, you only need one equation.
