A:
 For this case we have the following system of equations:
 [tex]5x + 60y = 35 x + y = 1.5[/tex]
 Where,
 x: time in hours walking
 Y: time in hours on the bus
 We solve the system of equations.
 Rewriting the system we have:
 [tex]5x + 60y = 35 -60x -60y = -90[/tex]
 Adding both equations we have:
 [tex]-55x = -55 [/tex]
 Clearing x we have:
 [tex]x = -55 / -55 x = 1[/tex]
 Then, the number of Yochanan road miles is:
 [tex]5x = 5 (1) = 5 [/tex]
   Answer:
   Yochanan walked about:
   5 miles
