Two cyclists leave town at the same time on the same road going on the same direction. cyclists a is going 6 miles per hour faster than cyclist b. after 8 hours, cyclist a has traveled three times the distance as cyclist b. use the equation 24x=8[x+6] to find how fast cyclist b is traveling.

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

24x + -8x = 48 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 24x + -8x = 16x

16x = 48 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

16x = 48 + 0

16x = 48

Divide each side by '16'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
