Question 1040670: Two trains leave town 552 km apart at the same time and travel toward each other . One train travels 12km/h faster than the other. If they meet in 2 hours, what is the rate of each train? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let r be the rate of one of the trains. The faster train would then be r+12. So:
2r+2(r+12)=552
4r=528
r=132
r+12=144 ☺☺☺☺
