speed of a freight train is 14 km/h slower than the speed of a passenger train. The freight train travels 330 km in the same time that it takes the passenger train to travel 400 km. Find the speed of each train.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Freight train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = x-14 kmh; distance = 330 km ;time = d/r = 330/(x-14) hrs
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Passenger Train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = x km/h ; distance 400 km ; time = d/r = 400/x hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time = time
\n" ); document.write( "330/(x-14) = 400/x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "330x = 400x - 14*400
\n" ); document.write( "70x = 14*400
\n" ); document.write( "x = 80 km/h (speed of the passenger train)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x-14 = 66 km/h (speed of the freight train)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
