I notice that The price is higher than the original price

What is the absolute value of -70.
This involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.
The first thing you do is to make the first number in row 2 = to 0.
This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2
so the matrix becomes
( 2 1 1) ( -3 )
( 0 -13/2 3/2) (1/2 )
(5 -1 2) (-2)
Next step is to make the 5 in row 5 = 0
then the -1 must become zero
You aim for the form
( 1 0 0) (x)
(0 1 0) (y)
(0 0 1) ( z)
x , y and z will be the required solutions.
Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.
Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.
The formula for distance is Speed times time.
The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.
Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.
The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Now solve for x:
30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Simplify:
30 = 3x + 3x +6
30 = 6x + 6
Subtract 6 from each side:
24 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 24/6
x = 4
The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.
The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
