Step-by-step explanation:

Note that t = d/r where t is time, d is distance, and r is rate/speed.

We can come up with two equations with the information given and the equation:

t_1 hr = (10 km)/(x km/hr)

t_2 hr = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr)

<em>where t_1 is the time taken to run the 10km the first day and t_2 is the time taken to run the 12km the second day.</em>

We know that 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour and that t_1 is 30 minutes less than t_2 (as stated in the question). Therefore, we can write:

t_1 = t_2 - 1/2

Substituting the values we derived:

(10 km)/(x km/hr) = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr) -1/2

Then we can evaluate by multiplying by 2x(x-1) on both sides:

20(x-1) = 24x - (x)(x-1)

20x - 20 = 24x - x^2 + x

x^2 -5x -20 = 0

And we are done.

I hope this helps! :)
