You can put this solution on YOUR website! you leave your house and walk for half an hour at a speed of 3 miles per hour. then you run for 15 minutes at a speed of 7 miles per hour. you are now halfway to town. write and solve an equation to find the distance from your house to town.
***
let x= distance from house to town
distance=speed*travel time
3*(1/2)+7(1/4)=x/2
3/2+7/4=x/2
6/4+7/4=x/2
13/4=x/2
x=26/4=6.5
distance from house to town=6.5 miles
