Two trains leave the same station at the same time, one traveling East the other traveling West. At the end of 10 and 1/4 hour they are 1394 miles apart. If the rate of the train traveling East is 4 miles per hour faster than the rate of the other train find their rates.
***
let x=rate of train traveling West
x+4=rate of train traveling East
x+(x+4)=2x+4=rate at which the 2 trains are traveling apart
distance/traveling time=rate
1394/10.25=136
2x+4=136
2x=132
x=66
x+4=70
rate of train traveling West=66 mph
rate of train traveling East=70 mph
