Algebra.Com's Answer #401633 by Maths68(1474) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let \n" ); document.write( "Speed of slower train = x \n" ); document.write( "Speed of faster train = x+10.3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed of slower train + Speed of faster train = Sum of speeds \n" ); document.write( "x+x+10.3=723.7 \n" ); document.write( "2x+10.3=723.7 \n" ); document.write( "2x=723.7-10.3 \n" ); document.write( "2x=713.4 \n" ); document.write( "2x/2=713.4/2 \n" ); document.write( "x=356.7\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed of slower train = x = 356.7 \n" ); document.write( "Speed of faster train = x+10.3 = 356.7+10.3=367 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
