One traveled north at a certain speed and the other traveled south at twice that speed. After 4 hours, the trains were 600 miles apart. How fast was each train traveling. \n" ); document.write( "F = faster speed \n" ); document.write( "S = Slower speed \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "600/4 = 150 = the sum = F + S \n" ); document.write( "F + S = 150 \n" ); document.write( "F = 2S \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "2S + S = 150 \n" ); document.write( "S = 50 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( "F = 100 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( "================================== \n" ); document.write( "600=2x+4 \n" ); document.write( "296=2x \n" ); document.write( "x=298 miles per hour and 149 miles per hour??? \n" ); document.write( " |
