Assign variables and make a data table. 
             RATE        TIME        DISTANCE

BICYCLE      r+9          t           88

WALK         r            t           16


Basic travel rates rule is RT=D to relate speed, time, and distance.

Make the system of equations.


The number t is the same for both equations, and you are interested in finding r.
