Matt runs 2 miles per hour faster than Adam.
\n" ); document.write( " Matt runs 5 miles in the same time that Adam runs 4 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the speed of each of them.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = running speed of Adam
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(s+2) = running speed of Matt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "Matts time = Adams time
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F%28%28s%2B2%29%29\" = \"4%2Fs\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 4(s+2)
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 4s + 8
\n" ); document.write( "5s - 4s = 8
\n" ); document.write( "s = 8 mph is Adam's running speed
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 2 = 10 mph is Matt's
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F10\" = \"4%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
