rt=d
\n" ); document.write( "r(6+2)+(r+15)6=580
\n" ); document.write( "r*8+6r+90=580
\n" ); document.write( "8r+6r=580-90
\n" ); document.write( "14r=490
\n" ); document.write( "r=490/14
\n" ); document.write( "r=35 mph. is the speed of the slower train.
\n" ); document.write( "35+15=50 mph. is the speed of the faster train.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "35*8+50*6=580
\n" ); document.write( "280+300=580
\n" ); document.write( "580=580
\n" ); document.write( "
