Answer:

  • Elvira's speed: 3.0 mph
  • Aletheia's speed: 2.4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "e" and "a" represent the speeds of Elvira and Aletheia, respectively. Then the total distance they cover is ...

  distance = speed × time

  (1/2)e + (2/3)a = 3.1

And the relationship between their speeds is ...

  e - a = 0.6

__

To solve this system, we can double the first equation and subtract the second to get ...

  2(1/2e +2/3a) -(e -a) = 2(3.1) -(0.6)

 7/3a = 5.6 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  a = (3/7)(5.6) = 2.4 . . . multiply by 3/7

  e = a +0.6 = 3.0 . . . . . Elvira's speed is 0.6 mph more than Aletheia's

Elvira's walking speed is 3.0 miles per hour; Aletheia's is 2.4 miles per hour.
