suppose you have entered a 155 mile biathlon that consists of a bicycle race and a running race. during your run your velocity is 10 miles per hour and during your bicycle race your velocity is 29 miles per hour. you finish the race in 6 hours. what is the distance of your run? what is the distance of your bicycle race?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "run distance: 10x where x is the number of hours you run
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "bike distance: 29(6-x)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance + distance = 155 miles
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 29(6-x) = 155
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 29*6 - 29x = 155
\n" ); document.write( "-19x = 155 - 29*6
\n" ); document.write( "-19x = -19
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 (# of hrs you run)
\n" ); document.write( "6-x = 5 (# of hrs you bike)
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
