Question 924239: [Two cyclists start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. One cyclist travels 5 mph faster than the other. If the two cyclists are 93 miles apart after 3 hours, what is the rate of each cyclist?]
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = speed of cyclist a
y = speed of cyclist b
---
x = y + 5
---
their combined speed:
x + y
(y + 5) + y
2y + 5
---
s = d/t
2y + 5 = 93/3
2y + 5 = 31
2y = 26
---
answer:
y = speed of cyclist b = 13 mph
x = speed of cyclist a = 18 mph
