answer

First we need to write system of 2 equations with 2 variables:

x*6 + y*12.5 = 34

x+y = 3.5

for substitution we express one of variables in one of equations and put it in other equation.

x = 3.5-y

(3.5 - y)*6 + 12.5*y = 34

21 - 6y + 12.5y = 34

6.5y = 13

y = 2

x = 3.5 - y = 3.5 - 2 = 1.5

she ran for 1.5 hours and biked for 2 hours.

check:

1.5*6 + 2*12.5 = 9 + 25 = 34 = 34
