A man walk for 2hr at 6km/h. he then cycled for a certain time at 16km/h. if he traveled 36km all together for how many hours did he cycle

t = 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A man walk for 2hr at 6 km/h.

He then cycled for a certain time at 16 km/h.

He travelled 36 km all together.

We need to find for how many hours did he cycle.

Distance walked in 2 hours = 2×6 = 12 km

Distance he cycled = 36-12 = 24 km

Let he cycled for t hours. So,

So, he cycles for 1.5 hours.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
