Question 937345: Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels
18
miles per hour faster than the eastbound train. If the two trains are
950
miles apart after
5
hours, what is the rate of the westbound train? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x + 5(x+18) = 950mi
10x = 860
x = 86mph, east bound train.
west bound train 104mph
and..checking
5h*86m/h + 5h*104m/h = 950mi
