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 
•Given 7 - 8 = -1
• -[-7 + 8] = -1, This choice
• 0 - 7 + (-8) = -15
• 7? + -8 = -1, This choice (if I understand “07” correctly)
• -7 + 8 = 1
Hello,
Answer A
(x-x0)²+(y-y0)²=r²
Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10
Answer is attached ! Hope it helps
