Answer:
old town has 150 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of steps in the old tower be m
Mathematically, time = distance/speed
In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending
For climbing, time spent = m/3
For descending time spent = m/2
Since it took her 25 longer when descending;
This means that;
m/2 - m/3 = 25
(3m-2m)/6 = 25
m/6 = 25
m = 6 * 25
m = 150 steps

I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
