bus
truck
65(x-1.25) 65 x-1.25
52x 52 x
65(x - 1.25) = 52x
65x - 81.25 = 52x-65x -65x
-81.25 = -13xx = 6.25
The distance is 52(6.25) = 325km

Distance Speed Time2. Two cyclists leave Hamilton at the same time and travel along Highway 8. One cyclist travels 2km/h slower than 3 times the other cyclist's speed. After 4h, they are 56km apart. How fast is each cyclist travelling?
4(3x-2) - 4x = 56
12x - 8 - 4x = 56
8x = 64
x = 8km/hr
