Algebra.Com's Answer #186377 by palanisamy(496)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the speed of the train A be x \n" ); document.write( "Then,the speed of the train B is x+10 \n" ); document.write( "Given,Train A travels 400 miles in the same time that train B travels 500 miles \n" ); document.write( " 400/x = 500/(x+10) \n" ); document.write( " 400(x+10) = 500x \n" ); document.write( " 4(x+10) = 5x \n" ); document.write( " 4x+40 = 5x \n" ); document.write( " 40 = 5x-4x \n" ); document.write( " 40 = x \n" ); document.write( "So,the speed of the train A is 40 miles per hour \n" ); document.write( "the speed of the train Bis x+10 = 50 miles per hour \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
