Question 1126498: Two truck drivers leave a cafe at the same time, travelling in opposite directions. One truck goes 5 mph faster than the other one. After 4 hr, they are 412 miles apart. How fast is each truck going? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the slow truck be x
The other truck goes x+5
4(2x+5) = 412
8x + 20 = 412
8x = 392
x = 49 mph is the speed of the slow truck
49 + 5 = 54 mph is the speed of the fast truck
