A tourist starts to walk up a mountain path that is 31 miles long at the rate of 4 miles per hour. After walking for a while, he gets tired and decides to get a taxi. The taxi gets him to the top travelling at a constant speed of 50 mph. If the tourist reaches the destination 2 hours after he started, what distance does he have to pay the cab driver for?

Distance walking --- x
distance by cab ---- 31-x
time walking = x/4
time by cab = (31-x)/50
Your "formula", we call it an equation
x/4 + (31-x)/50 = 2
solve for x, plug x into 31-x
