Answer:

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Courtney's walking speed

then

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

:

Time = Distance/speed

Brandi walks 6.5 mi time = Courtney walks 5 mi time

6.5/x + 1 = 5/x

Cross multiply

6.5x= 5(x+1)

6.5x= 5x + 5

6.5x - 5x = 5

1.5x = 5

x = 5/1.5

x = 3.33 mph is Courtney's walking speed

Note that:

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

3.33mph + 1 = 4.33mph

Therefore,

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph
