Okay, so for this problem, we're going to be thinking at the distance formula, which is basically rate times time.
00:08
Distance equals rate times time.
00:09
We know that we have two cyclists and they are separated by 50 miles.
00:12
We have one cyclist traveling at a specific rate r, and we have another cyclist traveling at four miles faster than that rate r, which is r plus four.
00:23
So let's say that cyclist two is going to be going at the rate of r and cyclist one is going at the rate of r plus four.
00:31
So let's try and create distance formulas for each cyclists.
00:35
So our first cyclist, the equation here is going to be d1 equals r times t.
00:41
We don't know the distance that they travel, but we do know that he is traveling r plus four for his rate.
00:48
And the time they meet after five hours.
00:50
So he's traveling for five hours.
00:53
Okay.
00:54
Cyclist 2 now is d2 equals r times t.
00:59
Again, we don't know the distance traveled, but we know that the weight is r...
