Answer 1

Answer: here is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

+t+ = traveler's speed in ft/sec

+w+ = walkway's speed in ft/sec

given:

+t+-+w+=+2+

+t+%2B+w+=+6+

-------------

Add the equations

+2t+=+8+

+t+=+4+

and

+t+%2B+w+=+6+

+4+%2B+w+=+6+

+w+=+2+

The traveler's speed off the walkway is 4 ft/sec

The speed of the moving walkway is 2 ft/sec
