First sign x the speed of train A; The speed of train will be x+14
Traveling time for train A is 200/x while traveling time for train B is 270/(x+14)
Since the trains travel the same amount of time we write the equation;
200/x=270/(x+14); 200(x+14)=270x; x=40.
Answer; Train A travel 40 mph while train B travel 54 mph.
