Answer:
D from A = 34 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the total distance is 200 miles (this would be when they meet)
The rate for cyclist A is 17
The rate for cyclist B is 83
We know the time is equal
Distance = rate * time
Distance for A = 17t
Distance for B = 83 t
The total distance = distance for A + distance for B
200 = 17t + 83t
Combine like terms
200 = 100t
Divide each side by t
200/100 = 100t/100
They will meet at t =2 hours
I know you say we need the distance
Distance for A
D = 17*t
We now know t
D = 17*2
D = 34 miles
