Tammy climbed a mountain in two days. She spent a total of 14 hours climbing the mountain. On the second day, she walked at an average speed that was half a kilometer per hour faster, but 2 hours less than what she walked on the first day. If the total distance she climbed during the two days is 52 kilometers, how many T kilometers per hour did Tammy walk on the second day?	Choose the correct answer:
A) 3
B) 3.5
C) 4
D) 4.5
E) 6

Rationale: "ans : c total time = 14 hrs let time traveled during 1 st day = x let time traveled during 2 nd day = x - 2 total time = 14 x + x - 2 = 14 x = 8 speed * time = distance s * 8 + ( s + 0.5 ) ( 8 - 2 ) = 52 solving s = 4.5 now speed for 2 nd day is 0.5 less than the 1 st day which is 4.5 thus speed for 2 nd day = 4 its simple algebra for s * 8 + ( s + 0.5 ) ( 8 - 2 ) = 52 but for some reason im getting 3.5 and not 4.5 . 8 s + 6 s + 3 = 52 14 s = 49 s = 3.5"
Answer: C
