SPEED OF CAR BE X MPH
TRAIN = X+30 MPH..
...
train distance = 120 miles
car distance = 80 miles
..
\..
train time = car time
multiply the equation by x*(x+30)
..
...
120x= 80(x+30)
120x=80x+2400
-80x
120x-80x=2400
40x=2400
/40
x= 2400/40
x= 60 mph speed of car
speed of train = x+30 = 60+30 = 90 mph
