May rides her bike the same distance that Leah walks.
\n" ); document.write( " May rides her bike 10km/h faster than Leah walks.
\n" ); document.write( " If it takes May 1 h and Leah 3 h to travel that distance, how fast does each travel ?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = L's walking speed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(s+10) = M's biking speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The both travel the same distance, write a distance equation D = time * speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L's dist = M's dist
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 1(s+10)
\n" ); document.write( "3s = s + 10
\n" ); document.write( "3s - s = 10
\n" ); document.write( "2s = 10
\n" ); document.write( "s = 5 mph is L's walking speed
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 10 = 15 mph is M's biking speed
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm solution by finding the distance of each
\n" ); document.write( "3(5) = 1(15) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
