Question

Janel walks for x minutes and runs for y minutes for a total of 30 minutes of exercise. Ramal walks for 3 times as long as Janel but runs for half of the time she does for a total of 40 minutes of exercise.

Is the system below correct for this situation? If not, why not?

x + y = 30

3x + 2y = 40

No because Jamal ran half of y, not twice the amount.
