Some guys went for a walk (2 hours(having speed M km/h)) and later walk again but (3 hours(having speed same as earlier but just one unit smaller(-1km/h)). Try to find out how big distance they had. OK my solution: We know that s / v = t(distance / speed = time) now we need to get distance, as we already know speed(not really but) distance = speed*time 2M = 3(M-1) 2M = 3M -3 -M = -3 / -1 M = 3 now lets find out distance uhm? (2*3)+(3*2) = 12 km would it be right, no?
