The speed of an object is the rate of distance traveled over time. Suzette ran for 1.5 hours, and she biked for 2 hours.

Given that: Speed is calculated as: Make Distance the subject Average running speed = 6 mph for x hours implies that: Average biking speed = 12.5 mph for y hours implies that: So, the total distance is: The total distance is 34 miles. So, we have: The total time is 3.5h. So, we have: Make x the subject Substitute in Collect like terms Divide both sides by 6.5 Recall that: Hence, Suzette ran for 1.5 hours, and she biked for 2 hours.'

x=3.5-y

x-3.5-2

x=1.5
