a red bike is traveling south, toward Lawrence, at constant speed of 24km/h and a blue bike is also traveling east, away from Lawrence, at a constant speed of 12 km/h.
when t=0, the red bike is 10 km north and the blue bike is 6 km east of Lawrence
:
a. express the distance of the red bike from Lawrence, R, as a function of time in hours, t.
R = 10 - 24t
b. express the distance of the blue bike from Lawrence, B, as a function of time in hours, t.
B = 6 + 6t
