document.write( "Question 841060: The speed of train A is 12 mph slower than the speed of train B. Train A travels 230 miles in the same time it takes train B to travel 290 miles. Find the speed of each train. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #506739 by hamsanash1981@gmail.com(151)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the speed of train B be x, then speed of A will be x-12. \n" ); document.write( "Time taken by A = 230/(x-12) \n" ); document.write( "Time taken By B = 290 / x \n" ); document.write( "Given that the time taken by train A = Train B \n" ); document.write( "Then, 230/(x-12)= 290/x \n" ); document.write( "=> 23X=29x-348 \n" ); document.write( "=> 6x = 348 \n" ); document.write( "=> x = 58\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore the speed of train A is (x-12 = 58-12)46 and Train B is 58. \n" ); document.write( " |
