Speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time

let x = time covered by running
15 = run distance + walk distance
15 = 9(x) + 3(3-x)
15 = 9x + 9 - 3x
15 - 9 = 6x
6 = 6x
x = 1 hour

Therefore:
Running distance = speed * time
RD = 9km/hr * 1 hr
RD = 9km

Can someone help me please?
Viefleur [7K]
So, you start by separating the equation into two inequalities and you get
4x+1 > -7 and 4x +1 < 5

Solve these inequalities and you get your final answer:
x > -2 and x < 1

(The equalities symbols are supposed to have the "or equal" line beneath them, I was just too lazy to put them.)
