We calculate the speed by dividing the distance over time:
s = d/t
So the distance described in the problem is always the same, A to B and B to A.
But we are told that;
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2)
that is, the first equation say that at speed 7 km/h a distance d is walked in a time t
the second equation say that at a average speed of 7 (that is 8 on one way and 6 in the other: 8 + 6 = 14, half of it), twice the distance is walked in a time equal to the first time plus 2 minutes.
So we have a system of linear equations, 2 of them with two unknowns, we can solve that:
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2<span>)
</span>lets simplify them:
7t = d
7(t + 2) = 2d
7t = 2d - 14
we substitute the first in the second:
<span>7t = 2d - 14
</span><span>7t = d
</span>so:
d = 2d - 14
d = 14
so the distance between A and B is 14 km

These marks are used in geometry to symbolize congruence. If two sides or two angles are congruent, they are assigned with the same symbol.

A. Side AD is congruent to Side  CB
B. Side HE is congruent to side HG. Side EF is congruent to Side GF.
C. The base angles are congruent. 
D. Side QF is congruent to Side MN, and Side QM is congruent to Side PN. The shape is a rectangle.
