Question 1162799: Micah and Alan both leave the restaurant at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Alan travels 6 mph faster than Micah and after 7 hours they are 154 miles apart, how fast is each traveling?
Micah is traveling
mph.
Alan is traveling
mph. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They are going apart at 22 mph, since 154/7 is 22
M is going x and A is going x+6
those add to 22
2x=16
x=8 mph for M
x+6=14 mph for A
in 7 hours M goes 56 miles and A 98 miles
