A motor scooter travels 14 mi in the same time that a bicycle covers 6 mi. If the rate of the scooter is 2 mph more than twice the rate of the bicycle, find both rates

Respuesta :

If the bicycle's rate is x, then the scooter's rate is 2x + 2. Since you know that 14 = 2x + 2 and 6 = x, you'd solve for x, which is 6.
