If they are traveling in opposite directions then their total speed is the sum of the two individual speeds.  If they traveled a total of 270 klicks in 5 hours, then their total speed was 270 divided by 5 or 54 km/hr.  Let *[tex \Large r] represent the rate of the slower cyclist and then *[tex \Large r\ +\ 8] must be the faster one.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r\ +\ r\ +\ 8\ =\ 54]


Solve for *[tex \Large r], then calculate *[tex \Large r\ +\ 8]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
