Question 1022350: Two trains going in opposite directions leave at the same time. Train B travels 5 mph faster than train A. In 7 hours the trains are 945 miles apart. Find the speed of each. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If they leave the same time in opposite directions, then:
7A+7(A+5)=945
14A+35=945
14A=910
A=65
Train A travels at 65 mph, B travels at 70 mph!!!!!!!!!
