two cars start from the same place and at the same time but travel in opposite direction. after 6 hours they are 540 meters apart. If one car travels 10 meter per hour slower than the other, what are their speeds per hour ?
***
let x=speed of slower car
x+10=speed of faster car
distance=travel time*speed
..
6x+6(x+10)=540
6x+6x+60=540
12x=480
x=40
x+10=50
speed of slower car=40 km/hr
speed of faster car=50 km/hr
