Answer:
okay so lets make blocks = x and neighborhood = y
2x + y =10
2x + 4y = 31
multiply the top equation by -1 so we can single out y
-2x - y = -10
2x + 4y = 31
combine the two equations
3y = 21
since the x's have canceled each other out, just divide both sides by 3 to get a single y
y = 7
it takes 7 minutes to go around the neighborhood. knowing that, you can also know it takes a minute and a half to go around the block.
