Two motorcyclists start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. One travels 4mph faster then the other. In 4 hours they are 168 miles apart. How fast is each traveling?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Slower cyclist rate: x mph
\n" ); document.write( "Faster cyclist rate: x+4 mph
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Separation speed: 2x+4 mph
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Eqution:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = distance/timrate = 168/4
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4 = 168/4
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4 = 42
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 38
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19 mph (slower cyclist rate)
\n" ); document.write( "x+4 = 23 mph (faster cyclist rate)
