Two cyclists leave towns 253 kilometers apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One cyclist travels 5km/h faster than the other. If they meet in 5 hours , what is the rate of each cyclist. Please answer ASAP can anyone assist with this I am up against the clock

The rate of the slower cyclist is

and that of the faster cyclist is

Step-by-step explanation:

We let x be the rate of the slower cyclist

From the question, the distance between the two towns is 253 and the time taken for the two cyclist to meet is 5 hours

so we can write the equation

We simplify to get the value for x

Hence the rate of the slower cyclist is

and that of the rate faster cyclist is

phosphate, calcium ion, chloride ion, neon atom
