Question 759788: A person can walk a certain distance and drive back in six hours. he can also walk both ways in 10 hours. how much time will he take to drive both ways? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Walking = x
Driving = y
x + y = 6 hours
2x = 10 hours
x = 5 hours
x + y = 6
5 + y = 6
y = 6 - 5
y = 1 hour
It will take 2 hours to drive both ways.
Hope this helps.
