You can put this solution on YOUR website! two cyclists start toward each other from two towns that are 46 km apart. one cyclist rides at 9 km per hour and the other rides at 14 km per hour. in how many hours will they meet?
.
Apply the distance formula of d=rt:
Let x = number of hours when they meet
then
9x + 14x = 46
23x = 46
x = 46/23
x = 2 hours
