Question

Yochanan walked from home to the bus stop at an average speed of 5 mph. He immediately got on his school bus and traveled at an average speed of 60 mph until he got to school. The total distance from his home to school is 35 miles, and the entire trip took 1.5 hours. The following system of equations represents this:

Answer 1

5x+60y=30Answer:

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first thing we will do for this case is define variables.
We have then:
x = time walking
y = time running
The system of equations will be:
5x + 60y = 35
x + y = 1.5
The solution to this system is:
x = 1
y = 0.5
Answer:
5x + 60y = 35
x + y = 1.5
Solutions:
x = 1
y = 0.5
