Algebra.Com's Answer #551674 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ronnie walked at the speed of 2 kph and jogged at the speed of 4 kph. \n" ); document.write( " If he jogged 3 km farther than he walked and the total time for the trip was 3 h, how far did he walk and far did he jog? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "let w = distance walked \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "(w+3) = distance jogged \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; time = dist/speed \n" ); document.write( "walk time + jog time = 3 hrs \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "multiply the equation by 8 \n" ); document.write( "8* \n" ); document.write( "cancel the denominators \n" ); document.write( "4w + 2(w+3) = 24 \n" ); document.write( "4w + 2w + 6 = 24 \n" ); document.write( "6w = 24 - 6 \n" ); document.write( "w = 18/6 \n" ); document.write( "w = 3 km walked \n" ); document.write( "You can find the distance jogged, check by finding the time of each \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
