An express bus can travel 275 mi in the same time that it takes a local bus to travel 225 mi. If the rate of the express bus is 10 mi/h faster than that of the local bus, find the rate for each bus.
***
let x=rate of local bus
x+10=rate of express bus
travel time=distance/rate
..
275x=225x+2250
50x=2250
x=45
x+10=55
rate of local bus=45 mph
rate of express bus=55 mph
