The distance between the stations is 250km and after 2.5 hours the trains are 25km apart.
The total distance that the trains have traveled is 250km - 25km or 225km.
Let X be the speed of the slower train in km/hr
Simplify the equation
Combine like terms
Subtract 25 from both sides
Divide both sides by 5
The slower train is moving at 40km/hr.
That means that the faster train is moving at 50km/hr
