Set up an algebraic equation and then solve. Two brothers leave from the same location, one in a car and the other on a bicycle, to meet up at their grandmother's house for dinner. If one brother averages 30 miles per hour in the car and the other averages 12 miles per hour on the bicycle, then it takes the brother on the bicycle 1 hour less than 3 times as long as the other in the car. How long does it take each of them to make the trip?
