Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
(8+x +x)(4) = 976 where x = the speed of the slower bus, 8+x = speed of the faster
distance = speed times time
d = st
st = d
(8 + 2x)(4) = 976
32 + 8x = 976
8x = 976 -32 = 944
x = 944/8 = 118 kmh for the slower bus
8+x = 126 kmh for the faster bus
in 4 hours slow bus goes 4(118) = 472 km
in 4 hours fast bus goes 4(126) = 524 km
472+524 = 976 km apart

Two cyclists leave towns 80 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One cyclist travels 6 mi/h faster than the other. If they meet in 2 hours, what is the rate of each cyclist?01/18/22
