To solve the problem, we need to find the speeds of X and Y based on the information given. Let's denote the speed of X as \( x \) km/h and the speed of Y as \( y \) km/h. ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the problem statement. 1. **First Equation**: X takes 3 hours more than Y to walk 30 km. - The time taken by X to walk 30 km is \( \frac{30}{x} \) hours. - The time taken by Y to walk 30 km is \( \frac{30}{y} \) hours. - According to the problem, we can write the equation: ...
