5.5 miles over 2 hours--> 5.5/2= 2.75 miles per hour was his average walking speed. 5.5 miles over 2.5 hours --> 5.5/2.5= 2.2 miles per hour on the return trip meaning that his average speed was (2.75-2.2= 0.55) 0.55 miles per hour lower on the return trip

Last month maria high the 5 mile Mountain Trail a number of times and she hiked the 10 mile canal trail several times. Let X rep

Marrrta [24]

Alright, lets get started.

Maria hiked the 5 mile Mountain Trail a number of times and she hiked the 10 mile canal trail several times.

x times she hiked 5 mile mountain.

So, number of mils she hiked for 5 miles will be = 5 x

Similarly,

y times she hiked 10 mile canal,

So, number of miles she hiked for canal = 10 y

So, total number of miles she hiked = $5 x +10 y$

But as per question given, she had a total of 90 miles

It means

$5x + 10 y = 90$

Dividing this equation with 5

$x + 2 y = 18$

So, the equation is $x + 2 y = 18$ : Answer

Hope it will help :)
