To cyclist 56 miles apart start riding toward each other at the same time one cycle is three times as fast as the other if they meet two hours later what is the speed of the faster cyclist

Answer 1

56 miles apart, they meet in 2 hours

as they ride towards each other

one is 3 times as fast as the other

x = 3y

x +3y = 56/2 = 28

x +x = 28

x= 14 mph = faster rider speed
