If x<0 and y>0, then the sign of the real number x-y/xy would be positive. <span>If x is negative and y is positive then x-y is negative and xy is negative. A negative number divided by another negative number would be positive. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Let the speed of walking of James = x mile/hour
speed of jogging = 2x mile/hour
9/2x + 1.5/x = 2
or, (9 + 3)/2x = 2
or, 12 = 4x
or, x = 3
Average speed of walking = 3 mile/hour
Average speed of jogging = 2 * 3 = 6 mile/hour
The answer should be 26 hours
