Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km
The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours
17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km
The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km
The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km
The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $225 was sold.
To solve this problem, we would write a system of linear equations.
- Let x represent the machine that cost $150
- Let y represent the machine that cost $225
We can proceed to write our equations now.
From equation 1
<h3>The Value of Y</h3>
put equation (iii) into (ii)
<h3>The Value of X</h3>
Since we know the number of y, we can simply substitute it into equation (i) and solve.
From the calculations above, 14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $255 was sold.
