Let time is
both are travells same time.
Where
is number of hours untill they travelling distance.
Find time
at which the cyclist and the skater will be
apart. \ \
Distance formula :
.
Let time
be number of hours at which they are
apart.
Make a table:

Solve equation.
\Distance travelled by an cyclist minus Distance travelled by an inline skater equals
.
.
(Original equation)
(Simplify)
(Divide each side by
)
(Simplify)
Therefore, they are travelling
apart after
.
