Problema Solution
A Cyclist rode the first 26-mile portion of his workout at a a constant speed. For the 20-mile cooldown portion of his workout, he reduced his speed by 3 miles per hour. Each portion of the workout took the same time. Find the cyclist's speed during the first portion and find his speed during the cooldown portion
Answer provided by our tutors
26/x = 20/(x - 3)
6x = 26* 3
x = 13 = cyclist's speed during the first portion
x - 3 = 10 = cyclist's speed during the cooldown portion
