Math question?

k the question is:

Conor walked from his house to the movies and jogged home. he walked at 5km/h and jogged at 7km/h. If Conor was walking for two hours more than he jogged, how far is his house from the movie theater?

k could you guys show all youre work, i need to learn how to do it so just set up the equation and show youre work. i think you need to set up two different equations.

thanks everyone

This can be solved using Linear Equations in one variable...

Let the time used by Connoer be represented by x hrs.

Since Distance = Speed x Time... And the distance from the house to the movies and vice-versa is same....

We get the equation,

5 ( x + 2 ) = 7x

5x + 10 = 7x

7x - 2x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2 hrs...

Therefore to cover the distance by running, he took 2 hours...

Therefore, since Distance = Speed x Time

Therefore, Distance = 7 kms/hr x 2 hrs

= 14 kms.

Therefore, the distance from the movies to the home is 14 kms..

Hope this helps...

let the distance be X

than the equation is X = 5 *( X/7 ) + 10

7X = 5X/7 + 10

7X = 5X + 70

7X - 5X = 70

2X = 70

X = 35, ur ans is here, Distance is 35 KM
Simultaneous equation:

x = time it took to walk

y = time it took to jog

x = y + 2 (the time it took to walk is equal to the time it took to jog, plus 2 hours)

5x = 7y (the time it took to walk times the speed is equal in distance to the time it took to jog times the speed.)

Substitution:

Since x = y + 2, and we are trying to get an equation with only 1 variable, then you can substitute y + 2 for x in the other equation.

So:

5(y + 2) = 7y

5y + 10 = 7y (simplify the left side of the equation)

10 = 2y (subtract 5y from each side)

5 = y (divide each side by 2)

Find out the x variable:

x = y + 2

x = 5 + 2 (substitute the value of y for y)

x = 7 (simplify)

Check:

5(7) = 7(5)

35 = 35

Answer the problem in words, since it is a word problem:

It took Conor 7 hours to walk to the movie theatre and 5 hours to jog back. (that is not the answer)

This is the answer:

It is 35 miles to the movie store. (since distance = speed * time, and 5 (speed of walking) * 7 (amount of time) = 35, and 7 * 5 = 35)
home --%26gt; movie at 5 km/hr

movie --%26gt; home at 7 km/hr

let x be the number of hours it takes for conor to job back

5 km/hr * (x + 2)hr = 7 km/hr * x hr

5x + 10 = 7x

10 = 2x

x = 5 hrs to jog

7 km/hr * 5 hrs = 35 km distance from house to movie

therefore conor lives 35 km from the movies
Tw=Time walking Tj=Time jogging

D=D

5Tw=7Tj

Tw-2=Tj

start with that^

Then since you know that Tj = Tw-2 you can substitute that for Tj down

5Tw=7(Tw-2)

Then you distribute the 7

5Tw=7Tw-14

subtract the 7 Tw from the 5Tw which gives you the below equation

-2Tw=-14

and then you divide both sides by negative 2 and get the below

Tw=7

Then you multiply that by the rate she was walking at to get the distance

7(5)=35
