Bob walks 5 mph,then jogs 9 mph for one hour. The total distance is 6 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "How far did he walk.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Walk DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 5 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 5x miles
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Jog DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 9 mph ; time = 1-x hrs ; distance = 9(1-x) miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance + distance = 6 miles
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 9(1-x) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 9-9x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "-4x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3/4 hr.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Walk distance: 5x = 5(3/4) = 15/4 = 3 3/4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "===================================================
