stretched the text :/

OpenStudy (mathmate):

B=bicycle speed in mph W=walking speed in mph We know that B=2.5W (bicycle is 2.5 times faster than walking) We also know that B-W=6 mph Substitute B=2.5W in the second equation: 2.5W-W=6 Can you solve for W?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmate w = 2.4?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Well, do not forget that -W means -1W, so you need to do the math on the left-hand side before finding W. 2.5W-W=6 2.5W-1W=6 1.5W=6 So W=?
