Question 1050961
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Hint:  The car travelled 39.6 times 8.5 miles farther than the bicycle and the sum of the distances travelled is 476.  Average speed is distance travelled divided by the time.


So


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x\ +\ x\ +\ (39.6\ \times\ 8.5)\ =\ 476]


Solve for *[tex \Large x].  Then divide *[tex \Large x] by 8.5 to find the average speed of the bicycle.  The average speed of the car is 39.6 mph faster than that.
