Algebraic Expressions, Identities and Formulae

In a race, Kian walks at an average speed of \((x-1)\text{ km/h}\) for \(2x\) hours and cycles at an average speed of \(2(2x+1)\text{ km/h}\) for \((x+2)\) hours.

1. Write down an expression, in terms of \(x\), for the distance he walks.

   [1]

2. Write down an expression, in terms of \(x\), for the distance he cycles.

   [1]

3. Given that Kian covers a distance of \(194\text{ km}\), write down an equation, in terms of \(x\), and show that it reduces to \[ 3x^2 + 4x - 95 = 0 \]

   [3]

4. Solve the equation \(3x^2 + 4x - 95 = 0\).

   [2]

5. Hence, find the time Kian takes to finish the race.
