    Let x be the rate of speed of slower cyclist

    and x+10 = rate of speed of faster cyclist

    Distance = Speed * Time

    5x + 5 (x+10) = 200

    5x + 5x + 50 = 200

    10x = 200-50

    10x = 150

    x = 15

    Rate of speed of slower cyclist: 15 mph

    Rate of speed of faster cyclist = 15+10 = > 25 mph
