Jake, Mel, and Annie went mountain biking on Mammoth Mountain. Each biker took a different trail. They biked for a total of 10 hours and 10 minutes. Mel biked 2/3 as long as Jake and Annie biked 30 minutes less than Jake did. How long did each of them bike?
This is the question. I know it can be solved with Guess and Check, but I need the algebraic way, and FAST!
Please don't tell me to solve it myself, because I have no idea for the technique. Please post the walkthrough and the once-over of the question on your answer.
Thank you SO much for answering this question! First decent answer posted with a clear description and why you did so and so, will be best answer.
May the best person win!
(I need the answer in a day, due Friday)
