Let, speed of 1st bicyclist is x.
So, speed of 2nd bicyclist is x-3 .
We know, relative speed when two objects moves towards each other :
Now, distance travelled in 3 hours is (98-2) miles .
So,
Therefore, speed of bikes are 17.5 mph and 14.5 mph.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Expression 20 – 3J represents the change in dollars, which construction worker will receive after buying J bottles of juice.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that
A construction worker bought several bottles of juice for $3 at the comedian store
She paid for them the $20 bills
Number of bottles of juice is represented by variable J
Need to write an expression for the change she receives.
From given information
Price of 1 juice bottle = $3
<em>Change she receives = Amount she paid - price of J juice bottles </em>
=> Change she receives = 20 – 3J
Hence expression 20 – 3J represents the change in dollars, which construction worker will receive after buying J bottles of juice.
