Motion
A cyclist set off at 9:00 from point D toward point E. After 10 minutes, a second cyclist set off from the same point at the same speed. A pedestrian walking from E to D set off at 9:25. The pedestrian met the first cyclist after 40 minutes and the second cyclist 8 minutes later.
The distance between the two towns is 30 km.
Determine the (common) speed of the cyclists and the speed of the pedestrian.
