Question 332951: Toledo and Cincinnati are 200 miles apart. A car leaves Toledo traveling toward Cincinnati, and another car leaves Cincinnati at the same time, traveling toward Toledo. The car leaving Toledo averages 15 mph faster than the other, and they meet after 1 hour and 36 minutes. What are the rates of the car?
Note: I need two equations. So far I have y+15=x, x=rate of car leaving Toledo and y being the rate of the car leaving Cincinnati.

(x+x+15)(1.6)=200
(2x+15)(1.6)=200
3.2x+24=200
3.2x=176
x=55 mph
x+15=70 mph
I don't know why you need two equations?
