    Let x be the time she ran and y be the time she walked

    then distance ran = 25x and distance walked = 5y

    so 15x + 5y = 42

    and x + y = 4

    * second equn. by - 5:-

    -5x - 5y = - 20

    add this to the first equn:0

    10x = 22

    x = 2.2

    distance she ran = 2.2 * 15 = 33 km
