Let b be the time spent bicycling, and w be the time spent walking. Then:
\n" ); document.write( "b+n=9
\n" ); document.write( "12b+2n=58\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12b+2n=58
\n" ); document.write( "2b+2n=18
\n" ); document.write( "10b=40
\n" ); document.write( "b=4
\n" ); document.write( "w=5
\n" ); document.write( "Tyler spent 4 hours bicycling, and 5 hours walking. ☺☺☺☺
