Question 1088188: The distance between two towns on a national highway is 600 km. A and B start simultaneously from these cities on their bikes towards each other. They meet after 4 hours and if the speed of B is 10 kmph more than that of A, find their speeds.
Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n be the speed of bike A. Then the speed of B is n+10. So:
4n+4(n+10)=600
8n=560
n=70 km/h
n+10=80 km/h
