A bicyclist traveling 20 mph and a vehicle traveling 35 mph cover the same distance.
\n" ); document.write( "The bicyclist travels 12 hours longer than the vehicle.
\n" ); document.write( " How many hours does each travel?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = travel time of the vehicle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(t+12) = travel time of the bike
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation, dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Car dist = bike dist
\n" ); document.write( "35t = 20(t+12)
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for t and you got it \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
