DaMarcus and Fabian live 23 miles apart and play soccer at a park between their homes. DaMarcus rode his bike for 3/4 of an hour and Fabian rode his bike for 1/2 of an hour to get to the park. Fabian’s speed was 6 miles per hour faster than DaMarcus’s speed. Find the speed of both soccer players.

23 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

D rides x mph for 0.75 hr or 0.75x for d

F rides (x+6) mph for 0.5 hr for (x/2)+3 d

0.75x+0.5x+3=23 miles, so 1.25x=20 miles

x=16 mph for D, and he rides 12 miles in 3/4 hour

x+6=22 mph for F, and he rides 11 miles in 1/2 hour.
