Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster

than the eastbound cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?
If you can solve this, can you please show your work and explain what I need to plug in where, and what equation I need to use? This is so confusing.

We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!

Can you please solve and explain how
Karolina [17]

First, it would help to simplify each side more:

Left side: 36 + 3(4x - 9) = 36 + 12x - 27 = 12x + 9

Right side: c(2x + 1) + 25 = 2cx + c + 25

Write the simplified equation:

12x + 9 = 2cx + c + 25

Usually when there is no solution, the coefficients of the variable on both sides are the same, so we can make the coefficient if x on the right side into 12:

2cx >>> 12x

Then, c must equal 6 to make this true.

The answer is choice (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 132 boys and 14 adults. Since the question is only asking for the ratio of adults to boys, we don't have to worry about the number of girls in this question.
