Question

suppose that a cyclist began a 627 mi ride across a state that the western edge of the state, at the same time that a car traveling tword it leaves the eastern end of the state.If the bicycle and car met after 9.5hr and the car traveled 35.6 mph faster than the bicycle,find the average rate of each

Answer 1

d_cyclist = r(9.5)

d_car = (r + 35.6)(9.5)

 

d_cyckust + d_car = 627

9.5r = 9.5(r + 35.6) = 627

 

Can you solve for r and anwer?
