Question 1095480: Two trains leave from cities that are 450 miles apart at the same time, traveling toward each other. One train travels 20 miles per hour slower than the other.
They pass(meet)each other after 3 hours. Find the rate of each train.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x+3(x-20)=450
x+x-20=150
2x=170
x=85 mph
x-20=65 mph
check
3x+3(x-20)=450
3*85+3(65)=450
255+255-60=450
255+195=450
450=450
ok
