two cyclists, 90 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. one cycles twice as fast as the other. If they meet 2 hour later, at what average speed is each cyclist traveling?
---
Their average speed is 45 mph
---
Equation:
x + 2x = 45 mph
3x = 45
x = 15 (one of the cyclists averages 15 mph)
2x = 30 mph (the other cyclists averages 30 mph)
