Algebra.Com's Answer #292452 by Gogonati(855)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First sign x the speed of train A; The speed of train will be x+14 \n" ); document.write( "Traveling time for train A is 200/x while traveling time for train B is 270/(x+14) \n" ); document.write( "Since the trains travel the same amount of time we write the equation; \n" ); document.write( "200/x=270/(x+14); 200(x+14)=270x; x=40. \n" ); document.write( "Answer; Train A travel 40 mph while train B travel 54 mph. \n" ); document.write( " |
