Hi

Cyclist A has already made 10 miles in the 30 minutes.
So we substract this from the total miles : 135 apart now.
We can set as follows : 135/ (20 + x) = 3
And solve for x. 25.

Explanation

Cyclist A rode for 3.5 hours at 20 miles per hour, so she traveled 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.
Cyclist B then, must have traveled 145 – 70 = 75 miles. Since Cyclist B left at 2:00, she rode for 3 hours, giving her a speed of 75 ÷ 3 = 25 miles per hour.
