Let r = run and b = bike
r + b = 6
5r + 22b = 98
-5r-5b = -30
17b = 68
b = 4
r = 2
Distance biking = 4*22 = 88
Distance running = 2*5 = 10

asked 06/24/19Suppose you have entered a 98-mile biathlon that consists of a run and a bicycle race. During your run, your average velocity is 5 miles per hour, and during your bicycle race, your average velocity is 22 miles per hour. You finish the race in 6 hours. What is the distance of the run?
