Here is the question, and i think I have the equation set up correctly, I just need to know how to actually solve it. :/

Natasha rides her bike (at a constant speed) for 4 hours, helped by a
wind of 3 miles per hour. Pedaling at the same rate, the trip back against
the wind takes 10 hours. Find find the total round trip distance she
traveled.

(s + 3)4 = d/2

(s - 3)10 = d/2

1º step towards the solution:)
(s + 3)4 = (s - 3)10

blank · Answer

The correct way of writing @myko is:
(s + 3)(4) = (s - 3)(10)

The result is:
s=7

blank · Answer

(7 + 3)(4) = 40
(7 - 3)(10) = 40

40 + 40 = 80

blank · Answer

Distance is 80 miles.

Thanks, to both of you. That's what I thought but was second guessing myself too much. It's been a while since I've had to do this.
