Question 924829: 'suppose two trains leave a station at the same time, traelin in opposite directions. one train travels 10 mph faster than the other. in 2.5 hours, the trains are 245 miles apart. Find the speed of each train'
Answer by ewatrrr(24785)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
r speed of slower train
2.5r + 2.5(r+10) = 245mi
5r + 25 = 245
5r = 220
r = 44mph speed of slower train. Faster Train 54mph
And...checking
= 245mi
