Suppose she traveled \"x\" hours on foot.
\n" ); document.write( "Total time \"t=+10\" hours so she traveled \"%2810-x%29\" hours on horseback.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, on foot she traveled \"3%2Ax\" miles
\n" ); document.write( "and on horseback she went \"7%2A%2810-x%29=70-7x\" miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In total, that is \"3x+%2B+70+-+7x+=+70+-+4x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The total distance traveled was \"46\" miles so that \"70+-+4x+=+46\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore \"4x+=+70-46+=+24\" and so \"x+=+24%2F4+=+6\" hours. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+6\" hours on foot and \"10-x=10-6=4\" hours on horseback\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, answer is A.\"6\" hours on foot and \"4\" hours on horse
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
