What are the 7 & 9 for? Obviously, you had info from somewhere else for the 9 & 7 if they are THE ONLY NUMBERS here
The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph
Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph
Hence:
Speed of one bicyclist:
3x+3(x+3)+2=98
3x+3x+9+2=98
6x=87
Divide both side by 6x
x=87/6
x=14.5 mph
Speed of the other bicyclist:
x+3 mph
14.5 mph+3 mph
=17.5 mph
Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

I hope u understand the solution.
2 groups if 4 bicyclists or 4 groups of 2 bicyclists. Well it's only 1.75 per truck so since there were 4 trucks 4•1.75=7.00 :)
