Ответ:
Average speed of car = x
Average speed of cyclist: y
x = 3y+ 5
After 1.5h,
1.5x = 1.5y + 46.5
To explain this, after 1.5 hours, the distant of the car is 46.5 away from the cyclist. (I know it's a bit confusing)
Substitube
1.5(3y + 5) = 1.5y + 46.5
4.5y + 7.5 = 1.5y + 46.5
3y = 39
y = 13
x = 3y+ 5
x= 3(13) + 5
x = 39 + 5
x = 44
Let's check.
In 1.5 hours. the car has gone
1.5(44) = 66 miles
The cyclist has gone
1.5(13) = 19.5
66 - 19.5 = 46.5
So it's right.
I guess.
Rate of cyclist is 13 mph.
