Question 1109616: two joggers start form the same point and run in opposite directions around a lake whose shoreline is 22 miles. a jogger runs .5 mph faster than the other jogger. how fast did each jogger run if they meet in 2 hrs Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Together, they run 22 miles in 2 hours or 11 miles in an hour
x mph for one
x+.5 for the other
(2x+0.5)*2 hours=22; 2x+0.5=11
2x=10.5
x=5.25 miles per hour for the slower
x+0.5=5.75 mph for the faster.
