Two trains are 330 miles apart, and their speeds differ by 20 mph. They travel toward each other and meet in 3 hrs. Find the speed of each train. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'm having trouble putting this problem into an equation.
\n" ); document.write( "It's different from the other travel/distance questions i've had.
\n" ); document.write( "I understand if i'm given the mph for each train but i don't know how to find it in this problem. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the speed of the slower train in mph
\n" ); document.write( " x+20 = the speed of the faster train in mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "speed times time = distance\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x + x+20)*3 = 330
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 20 = 110
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "x+20 = 65\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The speed of each train is 45mph and 65 mph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
