Question 816553: [ [Genny] & Jill left home at the same time. They traveled in opposite directions. Jill traveled 15 mph faster than [Genny]. After 6 hrs. they were 630 km apart. Find [Genny's] speed. ]
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! g = genny's speed
j = jill's speed
---
j = g + 15
---
since they travel in exactly opposite directions, the vector math for their relative speed is trivial, and we can simplify by assuming a single traveler moving at the relative speed of the two travelers.
---
relative speed:
s = g + (g + 15)
s = 2g + 15
---
s = d / t
s = 630/6
2g + 15 = 630/6
2g + 15 = 105
2g = 105 - 15
2g = 90
---
g = 45 mph
j = 60 mph
