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!!

zimovet [89]

Answer:

3.75 + 0.15n ≤ 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can not spend more than $5.25 so the inequality sign must be less than or equal to

If you know the shop charges a minimum of $3.75 for a sandwich, you need to include that in your equation

The $0.15 for additional toppings is included as $0.15 multiplied by n (0.15n)

n can be from 0-10, as 10 is the most toppings you can get before you go over your spending limit and you don't have to pay for additional toppings if you don't want to.
