    Answer: her rate when jogging is 5 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent her biking rate.

    Her rate for jogging was 10 mph less than biking rate. This means that her rate for jogging is (x - 10) mph.

    Time = distance/speed

    She biked for 12 miles. This means that the time that she spent biking is

    12/x

    She jogged for 6 miles. This means that the time that she spent jogging is

    6 / (x - 10)

    She spent a total of 2

    hours riding her bike and jogging. This means that

    12/x + 6 / (x - 10) = 2

    Multiplying through by x and (x - 10), it becomes

    12 (x - 10) + 6x = 2x (x - 10)

    12x - 120 + 6x = 2x² - 20x

    2x² - 20x - 12x - 6x + 120 = 0

    2x² - 38x + 120 = 0

    Dividing through by 2, it becomes

    x² - 19x + 60 = 0

    x² - 15x - 4x + 60 = 0

    x (x - 15) - 4 (x - 15) = 0

    x - 4 = 0 or x - 15 = 0

    x = 4 or x = 15

    Her jogging rate is

    15 - 10 = 5 mph
