Two cyclists start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. One cyclist travels 4 km/h slower than the other. If the two cyclists are 120 kilometers apart after 2 hours, what is the rate of each cyclist?

Cyclist 1 = 26km/h. Cyclist 2 = 34km/h. Explanation: One cyclist is 4km/h faster and we know that they are 120 km apart in 2 hours so 4 x 2 = 8 more km in 2 hours. 52 km + 68 km = 120 km. 52/2 = 26km/h. 68/2 = 34km/h
