You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+s+\"$ = your walking speed in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2s+\"$ = your jogging speed in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+t+\"$ = time spent walking in hrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+-+t+\"$ = time spent jogging in hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation fro walking:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+12+=+s%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for jogging:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+18+=+2s%2A%28+7+-+t+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+18+=+14s+-+2%2As%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+12%2Ft+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+18+=+14%2A%2812%2Ft%29+-+2%2A%2812%2Ft%29%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+18+=+168%2Ft+-+24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+168%2Ft+=+42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+t+=+168%2F42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+t+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and

\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+12%2F4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2s+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The walking speed is 3 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The jogging speed is 6 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
