Question 20743: Trains A and B leave the same city at the same time, headed West and south respectively. Train A travels 14 km/h faster than train B. After 5 hours they are 130 km. apart. Find the speed of each train.

5(x+14)+5(x)=130
5x+70+5x=130
10x=130-70
10x=60
x=6, 6+14 = 20
Hence one train is traveling at 6km/h while the other travels at 20km/h
