The slower one: 22kph
And the faster one 26 km per hour
1) Gathering the data
1st cyclist: 4 km faster than the other
2 cyclists: 250 km apart
After 5 hours
2) Let's set one equation relating the speed of both cyclists
x = slower cyclist
x+4=faster one
There's a relationship between the speed
Speed =Distance/ time
time =distance/speed
And Distance=time*speed
So we can write this out
5x +5(x+4) =240 Distribute the factor, combine like term
5x + 5x+20 = 240 Add 20 to both sides
10x = 240-20
10x = 220 divide both sides by 6
x =220/10
x = 22 kph
3) Hence, the slower cyclist rides with a rate of 22 kph and the faster one 26 km per hour
