Sagot :

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

distance / rate = time

x = walking distance        20 -x = biking distance

x / 4 m/hr   +   (20-x) / 12 m/hr    =   3 hours

x/4   + ( 20-x) /12 = 3     multiply both sides of the equation by 12  

3x  + 20 -x  = 36

2x = 16

x = 8      8 miles walking    then   12 miles biking
