Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.
<u>Solution:</u>
Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist
So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist
We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

West-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles
East-bound DATA:
Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles
On solving,
Distance apart = 162



So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the inverse of ![A=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & -2 \\\\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\\\ -4 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%201%20%26%200%20%26%20-2%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%20%26%201%20%26%203%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%20%26%202%20%26%203%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
To find the inverse matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and perform row operations trying to make the identity matrix to the left. Then to the right will be inverse matrix.
So, augment the matrix with identity matrix:
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 4&1&3&0&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cccc%7D1%260%26-2%261%260%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%261%263%260%261%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%262%263%260%260%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

As can be seen, we have obtained the identity matrix to the left. So, we are done.
I believe it is C, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Not sure on the number listed as median ? 27.227.2? Please clarify.
The answer I got was: 12 + 3/5
Sorry I didn’t have that symbol thing on my phone so i had to use a slash.
Hope this helps :)
