Answer:
In 1.25 hours, their combined speed is 40 km, so their speed per hour is 32 km/h
So the answer is B. northbound bicyclist = 18 km/h
southbound bicyclist = 14 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
the speed of the slower is x and the faster x+4 km/h
that equals 32 km and the speed of the slower is 14 km/hr and the faster 18 km/hr.
in 1h15m the slower goes 17.5 km and the faster 22.5 km
To solve is relatively easy. All you need to do is divide both sides by 3 to get the x variable alone.
When you do that what you are left with is x = 4 - 4/3y
