Question 1032077: Two buses leave towns
900km
apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels
18
/kmh
faster than the other. If they meet in
5
hours, what is the rate of each bus? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let speed of buses be x & x+18 km/h
They are moving towards each other . so add their speeds
x+x+18 = 2x+18
t=d/r
5= 900/2x+18
10x+90 = 900
10x = 810
x=81
speed of buses 81 & 99 km/h
