Question 1165162: suppose two trains leave a certain station, at the same time, traveling in opposite directions. one train travels 10 mph faster than the other. in 3.5 hours, the trains are 357 miles apart. find the speed of each train Answer by ikleyn(52810) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Your equation is
3.5x + 3.5*(x+10) = 357 miles for the total distance apart them.
Here x is the rate/speed of the slower train.
Solve it; then evaluate (x+10) for the faster speed.
