On the 36-mile trip to the magic fountain, alice walked at a brisk pace. On the way back, alice doubled her pace. If the total trip took 6 hours, how fast did alice travel on the trip to the magic fountain and on the return trip from the magic fountain?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "To the fountain DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance= 36 miles; rate = x ; time= d/r= 36/x hrs.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Trip from the fountain DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance= 36 miles; rate = 2x ; time = d/r = 36/2x = 18/x hrs
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "time to + time from = 6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "36/x + 18/x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "54/x=6
\n" ); document.write( "x=9 mph (rate to the fountain)
\n" ); document.write( "2x=18 mph (rate from the fountain)
