Two cyclists, 54 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. one cycles 2 times as fast as the other. if they meet 3 hours later, what is the speed (in mi/h) of the faster cyclist?
a. write an equation using information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.
b. what is the speed of the faster cyclist?

b. x- 48 =120

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
