    x should be time traveled hours
     45x motorcycle  motorcycle distance
      6(x-2) + 25   walking distance
       
     45x = 6(x-2) + 25     starting eq.
           6x - 12 + 25     get rid of par. and combine like terms
     45x = 6x + 13
           -6x         move variable to left side
      39x = 13
      39x/39 &lt;= 13/39
              divide by 39 to leave x on left
         x=1/3hr = 20 minutes  motorcycle broke down after 20 minutes 1/3 of 45 is 15miles + 1 hour 40 minutes of walking 10 miles = 25 miles
