The speed of a passenger train is 14 mph faster than the speed of a freight train. The passenger train travels 400miles in the same time it takes the freight train to travel 330miles. Find the speed of each train?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Freight train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 330 miles ; rate = x mph ; time = 330/x hrs
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Passenger train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 400 miles ; rate = x+14 mph ; time = 400/(x+14) hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time = time
\n" ); document.write( "330/x = 400/(x+14)
\n" ); document.write( "400x = 330x + 14*330
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "70x = 14*330
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/5)(330)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 66 mph (freight speed)
\n" ); document.write( "x+14 = 80 mph (passenger speed)
