let’s say the time he walks 3 km/h is called t1
and the time he walks 4 km/h is called t2
so
t1 + t2 = 5
and
3×t1 + 4×t2 = 18
if t1 + t2 = 5 then t2 = 5 – t1
and so:
3×t1 + 4× (5-t1) = 18
3×t1 + 20 – 4×t1 =18
20 – t1 = 18
t1 = 2 hours
which is the time he walks 3 km/h
and t2 = 3 hours
now lets test
(3 × 2) + (4 × 3) = 6 + 12 = 18
so there you have it.
