Tom rides the bus part of the way to school and then he walks the rest of the way. He walks 5 mins longer than he rides. The whole trip takes 27 mins. for how many mins does he walk?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let ride time be \"x\" minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "Then walk time is \"x+5\" minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time + time = 27 min.
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+5 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 22
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11 minutes (ride time)
\n" ); document.write( "x+5 = 16 minutes (walk time)
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
