Question 1076622: Ricardo and Jeremy leave their house at the same time riding their bicycles in opposite directions Ricardo rides 2 miles per hour faster than jeremy after 3 they aer hours 52.2 miles apart at what speed was each person riding Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the rate jeremy cycles. Then Ricardo is n+2. So:
3n+3(n+2)=52.2
6n=46.2
n=7.7
Jeremy cycles at 7.7 mph. Ricardo goes 9.7 mph. ☺☺☺☺
