Question 715427: please help solve this problem, thanks
Two trains, one traveling twice the speed of the other, start at the same time from places which are 288km apart and travel towards each other. In 3 hours, the trains pass each other. Find the rate of each train.

LET X & 2X BE THE SPEED OF THE 2 TRAINS.
D=RT
288=(X+2X)3
288=3X*3
288=9X
X=288/9
X=32 SPEED OF THE SLOWER TRAIN
2*32=64 SPEED OF THE FASTER TRAIN.
PROOF:
288=(32+64)*3
288=96*3
288=288
