Jack plans to complete a 12-mile route for a fundraiser. He will run part of the route and walk the rest.
Jack walks at an average speed of 3 miles per hour.
He runs at an average speed of 6 miles per hour.
a. If Jack walks for 2 hours, what is the distance, in miles that he will walk? Show or explain how you got your answer.
Let x and y be defined as follows
x= the number of hours Jack will walk for the fundraiser
y= the number of hours Jack will run for the fundraiser
b. Write an expression in terms of x that represents the distance, in miles Jack will walk for the fundraiser.
c. Write an expression in terms of x that represents the distance in miles Jack will walk for the fundraiser.
d. Write an equation in terms of x and y to show that the sum of the distance Jack walks and the distance he runs is 12 miles.
Thank you for your help :)

a. If Jack walks for 2 hours, what is the distance, in miles that he will walk? Show or explain how you got your answer. 2h x 3 mph = 6 miles
Let x and y be defined as follows
x= the number of hours Jack will walk for the fundraiser
y= the number of hours Jack will run for the fundraiser
b. Write an expression in terms of x that represents the distance, in miles Jack will walk for the fundraiser. 2x = 2(3mph) = 6 miles
c. Write an expression in terms of y that represents the distance in miles Jack will run for the fundraiser. (12miles - 6miles) = y NOTE: ( I changed this because it repeats b.)
d. Write an equation in terms of x and y to show that the sum of the distance Jack walks and the distance he runs is 12 miles. 2x + y = 12 , 2(3) + 6 = 12
