A walker and a cyclist go in the same direction on the same path. If the speed of the cyclist is three times that of the walker
and they leave at 8:00 am and 12:00 noon, the cyclist has a 32 km advantage to the other. Find out how fast each one is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to the context, . . .
the speed of the cyclist is 32 km divided by 4 hours, = 8 km/h.
Then the speed of the walker is km/h, or km/h.
Solved.

Comment from student: 4(3x)-4x=32 8x=32 x=4 km/h speed of the walker 3(4)=12 km/h speed of the cyclist
