________________rate___________time_____________distance
MONDAY___________x_____________1/2______________x(1/2)
TUESDAY_________x-2___________3/4_____________(x-2)(3/4)


"the same distance"

(?), yes, you have highlight_green%28x%2F2=%28x-2%29%283%2F4%29%29, and use that equation to solve for x, which allows you to evaluate rates for Monday, AND Tuesday, and the distances for those days.

x=%28x-2%29%283%2F2%29
x=%283%2F2%29x-3
0=x%2F2-3
3=x%2F2
6=x
