Suppose that a cyclist began a 364 mi ride across a state at the western edge of the​ state, at the same time that a car traveli
maw [93]
The car's average rate  is 43.7 mph. The bicycle's average rate is 12.3 mph.

To get this solution, let the bicycle's average rate be (x) and the car's average rate be (x + 31.4) mph. 

Distance= Speed x Time
364 = (x + x + 31.4) 6.5
364 = (2x + 31.4) 6.5
364/6.5 = 2x + 31.4
56 = 2x + 31.4
56 - 31.4 = 2x
24.6 = 2x
24.6/2 = x
12.3 = x

x = 12.3 mph     
x+31.4 = 43.7 mph
