A boy can walk 113 meters in one minute, and he can run 321 meters in one minute. If he ran 3 minutes longer than he walked, and he covered a total distance of 4001 meters, determine the total time he ran and the distance he covered while he was running. :?: :?:

Please show us some work - so that we know where is your problem and need help.
 
x=time he walked
x+3= time he ran

2x + 3 = 4001
2x = 3998
x = 1999

x+3 = 2002
