You drive 115 miles along a scenic highway and then take a 20​-mile bike ride. your driving rate is 33 times your cycling rate. suppose you have no more than a total of 6 hours for driving and cycling. let x represent your cycling rate in miles per hour. write a rational inequality that can be used to determine the possible values of x. do not simplify and do not solve the inequality.

Let x be your cycling rate. Then your driving rate would be 3x. So:
115/3x + 20/x < 6
Solve for x
