Problema Solution

IN 10hrs A walks 5 miles more than B does in the same time; and in 8 hrs B walks 8miles more than A does in 4 hrs. how many miles does each walk per hour?

Answer provided by our tutors

let A walks at xmile/hr

whille B walks at y miles per hour

now,

in 10 hours

a walks=10*x

B walk=10*y

10x=10y+5--(1)

=> 10x-10y=5

and agian

8y=4x+8

=> -4x+8y=10--(2)

solve (1) and (2)

x=3.5miles/hr and y=3miles/hr
