They both travel for time t = 3 hours
the bike goes:
d = 15 t
the bus goes
d + 195 = v t
so
d = v t - 195
but t = 3 so
15(3) = v(3) - 195
45 = 3 v - 195
3 v = 240
v = 80 km/h
the bike goes:
d = 15 t
the bus goes
d + 195 = v t
so
d = v t - 195
but t = 3 so
15(3) = v(3) - 195
45 = 3 v - 195
3 v = 240
v = 80 km/h

or, you can look at it like this. The bus makes up 195km in 3 hours, so it is going 195/3 = 65 km/hr faster than the bike.
15+65 = 80 km/hr
15+65 = 80 km/hr
